Indeed. I want to be educated as well and learn how to make belts last the longest. Went to Baja last week and my OEM belt failed after I raced down the pacific coast at 70 to 80 mph. When I went to climb out from the beach on a steep sandy hill my check engine light went on suggesting belt failure. Replaced with a new Hunter belts and finished the rest of the 700 miles. I want to stay on top of clutch and belt issues so these videos are extremely helpful!

Of course if its a long slow hill its in low. One thing i do is blow out my clutches every 3 to 4 rides and i rotate my primary to blow it out completely. I don't take off creeping and i don't flat foot it....i roll into it . I also turn my secondary to completely blow it out 🙂

Ordered my first hunterworks belt. Installed it. No break in. Straight to the atv park. Unloaded it and could tell it was a better quality belt From my previous belts. Drove straight to a big mud hole (REALLY THICK MUD) plus I’m running 35” tires. launched it. Long story short. Instead of getting pulled out I played too long and burnt up the belt. 100% my fault. I knew it was. Didn’t fault the belt. Gave it another chance. Ordered another belt and it’s lasted me longer than any other belt so far witch says a lot for me because I’m hell on a belt.

Just asking, do you sell the tshirts that you wear in the videos? Or stickers for our rides? Would love to have a Hunterworks sticker to show what belt we’re running. A lot of people riding haven’t heard of you guys and just run the factory belt from the local Polaris dealer. Like I use to. I got tired of changing them and paying high prices and finally googled best belt for rzr and Hunterworks videos popped up. Thought I would give you guys a try. Received my belt last week couldn’t believe the difference in size and thickness. Can’t wait for this weekend to break her in . Thanks again for takin time and making the videos.

Reading some of these comments about how much people can reef on their machine and keep going makes me cringe,all machines fail, id rather it be a $80 belt than a blown up engine.

Thanks for taking the time to make this vid. I was told to put a bilge blower (and air filter) in-line so I did. But in order for the cool air to enter, where does the hot air exit? Thanks again!

[@Hunterworks]

Not a filter and the bilge is probably not really blowing enough to help, those numbers used about CFM are not entirely accurate. You didn't say what vehicle but you can have one to two intakes and one exhaust on the clutch on all vehicles

@@Hunterworks Yeah, a large air filter...clean air is much better than dust.

[@fordmud]

Not to argue with you, but the cvt systems most sxs use don't belong on a machine that heavy with that much horsepower. To me it's more of the manufacturers being cheap and selling something that is set up for failure. The belt going slack at a stop is only something that should be on snowmobiles. A sxs needs to have a centrifugal wet clutch so the belt can always stay under tension or possibly a torque converter. Anything this heavy should be braced on both sides of the pulleys, for example the belt cover needs bearings in it to support both pulleys and be a structural component. And the turbo cars basically just need to give up on rubber belt transmissions, they are not going to live. I will not drive careful in a high performance off-road machine just to save a belt. Polaris has been one of the worst cvt builders in the sxs and atv world, even though they basically have been doing it the longest. The Yamaha ultramatic is one of the best cvt systems out there but it's still only good for lighter machines without turbo engines. Honda is the one who could make one hell of a transmission if they actually tried. They started one in the Rincon but it needs more than 3 speeds, a version of that with 6 speeds and low range would be a great solution for most all of these higher power sxs machines out there. Of course the DCT works great also but can burn clutches pretty quick for the rock crawling guys.

[@jormac715]

Hey great video, thanks!! My question is, i do ohh! About 50/50 slow hill and rock climbing and then fast on logging trails, gravel roads. I’m driving a 2016 xp 1000 turbo everything stock. I do carry a good size plastic toolbox and a spare tire on a polaris tire rack, have a 4500 lb. wench on the front and a few extras like full doors and rock guards and a front bumper ( home made). I’ve never had problems with belts. But last summer a clutch seal took a dump and dumped oil all over my belt and was pretty much done with riding for the rest of my vacation. My driving is a mix of fast driving and slow climbing, but no more then 55-65 mph on the gravel logging roads, and the climbing is medium at best. Plus I don’t get out to ride as much as I’d like. Still under 1500 miles closer to 1000. But it seems my rzr runs hotter when I’m driving it up around 9-10 thousand ft. Elev”. To the point i can smell the belt. Which I’ll usually slow down or stop and let it cool down before it shuts down which I believe it will do by itself. But I don’t know which is the problem. Belt/ altitude/ driving habit Or combination of the three. I am guilty of running the ruff slower trails in high but it seemed to handle it ok but then again I could be a little dense in the head at those altitudes. Any in put. Any belt changes for fast/ slow / crawl type driving in high altitudes.

[@Hunterworks]

What is the question?

[@jormac715]

Hunterworks Inc. sorry had to edit

[@Hunterworks]

@@jormac715 The 16 is unique and there was a update from Polaris, not sure if you had it done. Then clutching is very specific and you are asking it to do two different things that need different set ups, slow riding needs heavier weights for belt grip and faster needs lighter for rpm. High elevation needs light if you are driving fast to overcome the lack of oxygen in the air and less power

[@rodg011]

[@brandylay6229]

Todd would it be possible to invent a wide roller guide that bolts in to the cover next to the duct to keep the belt from hitting and rubbing the top of the cover possibly damaging the belt and cover? Be a neat invention if it worked effective.

Potentially, but when the clutching is correct, clutches are in good shape and spacing is correct the belt doesn’t hit the cover

Couple things that have been mentioned to me Todd.... 1. Apparently with a replacement helix and tuned weights and springs there is a huge amount of wheel horsepower to gain on the XP1k? Any comments? Second one is if a customer upgrades to say a 3” taller tire wouldn’t the factory spring/weight combination lug the clutch too much and create heat down low?

[@Hunterworks]

No helix adds HP and no sir on the lugging, when you are going slow the belt is in lower ratio, you just need belt grip. You can call me if you need more details

I drive at mid to high speeds but never do jumps or dumb stunts. Help?

[@Hunterworks]

Not enough info,, send me an email [e-mail] and tell me vehicle ,miles tires riding style etc plus this

[@dequavisjones4869]

I got 9500 miles out of my stock clutch and two belts. Now she sounds bad to say the least. New clutch kit and alignment tool are on the way

[@Hunterworks]

I hope you got clutches not just a kit

[@B1ou1nsGarage]

I got a issue I just bought a 2011 Polaris rzr I get to about 30 mph and it sounds like somethings rubbing the belt box or catching once I come to a complete stop and take off again it’s fine. I’m not sure what it can be if you or anyone can give me some tips maybe the weight coming back hitting the belt box?

[@Hunterworks]

Always best to open the clutch cover up and start looking. Then once there, we have videos on how to troubleshoot the primary and secondary

[@jbcowherder6210]

do the Yamaha's have these same problems? they tout the fact they use a one way clutch on the belt drive that keeps the belt tight at all ranges. does it make a difference?

[@jeremiahlf]

JB COW HERDER It absolutely makes a huge difference. At my local dealer they are advertising and selling a better clutch called a duraclutch. It has a centrifugal clutch built in similar to Yamaha.

Hi, I'm new to these things. I bought a 2021 Polaris 1000 turbo S. I only drove it once and today I moved it to wash it. I heard a noise when I hit the gas! clack!!! just once. It is heard when you are completely stopped and you push the gas, it is heard in the back but when driving it you do not hear anything? It's normal I'm new to this by I want to learn thanks

[@Hunterworks]

Yes it is, some slack in gearing etc that has to close up before you move. If you find your belt slipping at higher speeds when you floor it, that happens on this model and the Dalton kit we sell will fix this.

[@bwyyy7306]

To me, that drive shaft to the front axle always looked like an after thought, why does it come out from the far left side then goes on an angle to the front.

[@jakebarnier5188]

Drive shaft has to tap into transmission output. Differential should be in center (lets us use same replacement axl for all 4 wheels), and driveshaft has to angle from transmission output to front differential that is in the center of the front of the vehicle.

Hi Tod, I have a question about my 2012 Rzr 800. How can I get a hold of you

[@Hunterworks]

email, [e-mail] I will answer tuesday when I get to work. Have a good weekend

[@JasonVladimir]

What are your thoughts on people plowing snow with their sport model side by sides?

[@Hunterworks]

if you do it faster in low might be ok, but low is just not low enough

[@pushpushlambert8079]

What are your thoughts on DCT ...

[@robertcastleberry5108]

i love my DCT. It adapts to your riding style. With high and low range on mine i love it. It can get down and dirty or max out around 49 mph. Overall good for the guy in the middle. I still prefer the old honda 300 as it has the least motor and tranny issues. Brakes suck but i dont use brakes unless im in the hills. I always keep the hydro brakes in good condition the rear i just remove the shoes and ride. They can seize.

Sled looks huge next to him

[@jamesbist3961]

Would my buttons on my secondery clutch be a problem. They are completely broken all is left is tje screws

[@Hunterworks]

For sure that is a huge issue

[@jerrynix5206]

Low range is key

[@rogerl8488]

I have 2500 miles on a 1000 xp15 model never blew a belt . I use 4x4 an low alot!! Its riding style!!

[@samtuck4812]

I replaced my belt on a 19 ranger 570,as soon as I started it up,started squeeling.i went to load it on my trailer and belt snapped again..what you think is wrong?

[@Hunterworks]

send this in an email to [e-mail] I have some links and info i can send you

[@jadebylund7061]

Does that in line blower work on RZR turbo models?

[@Hunterworks]

Not that one but we have one for it www.hunterworks.com/inc/sdetail/88526/96712

[@chrism.c8162]

I have a 2010 rzr 800 . That is backfiring at 30 mph and is not going up mote than 35 mph. Any ideas of what can be ?

[@Hunterworks]

Backfiring or hitting limiter? If hitting limiter it is in the clutch if actual backfiring, I don't know since I only know clutching

[@user-neo71665]

5 speed transmissions never have belt problems

[@danielmaehren882]

Couldnt agree with you more.....

[@wesleygarrison6248]

Or you could get a Yamaha, none of the problems listed here are an issue.

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Damm I feel like me buying a 2019 can am maverick x3 was a mistake . Seems everyone is replacing belts like crazy.

[@rafasaosin]

i think it looks the best, but thats why im leaning toward the yxz1000r or wait for the new honda turbo talon 1000r

[@scottyoung831]

Evo belt hands down

[@jamesnewell2776]

How do u R/R the transmission output seal

[@Hunterworks]

I can't tell you that, never done it

[@Snipeuout69]

Running 83 mph through whoops for long runs will also destroy belts...

[@lte008]

How about a video on how/why Yamaha has the best CVT system?

[@Hunterworks]

lte008 Because I don’t believe that there is no best everything’s for application

[@lte008]

@@Hunterworks so not one CVT system is better designed than any other?

[@Hunterworks]

lte008 depends on application. Yamaha good for slow stuff Polaris for fast. Polaris clutches way more adjustable Yamaha doesn’t need it as much for slower going.

Do you sell clutch kits for 450 xc attic cats?

[@cd1772]

All you have to do is drive it like a Prius on a dirt road, and Polaris will never need to build it for it’s intended purposes. It’s a win-win

[@jeffflick2573]

1st reason is it's NOT a chain?

Razor Xp 1000 “2019” the RPM goes up but the Razor is not driving fast …why?

Something not right in the primary, spider and or nut backed off, bad rollers etc, watch our how to troubleshoot a primary clutch video
