How to change/replace/inspect drive belt on Kawasaki Teryx | Maintenance Matters | SuperATV

[@XxnosmanXx]

Holy crap, basically disassemble half the SXS to replace the belt drive lol. That would be fun in the field

[@hahac1997]

I spit my coffee all over the screen at "that's how easy it is to change the belt on your kawasaki teryx."

[@joshcaine4]

No kidding.... 5 minutes work... once you get to it.... easy my butt

[@ryancolwell2209]

My thought also lol

[@brianstivers5453]

I generally never comment on here but this was a very good informational video. I broke drive belt on my teryx and followed this video and successfully put a new on on. Thanks so much.

[@SuperATVMedia]

Awesome! Glad we were able to help!

[@G.Davis67]

Coming up on 1800 miles on the stock belt and have been dreading this job. thanks for making this video I’ll definitely pickup a SuperATV belt too.

[@EverydayMan]

You may want to mention that the primary retainer nut is left handed. You mention that that the secondary is regular threads then proceeded to turn the primary the same direction. I actually watched this very closely 2 times before attempting to change my belt and stripped the retainer nut trying to remove it because of this.

[@michaelroberts6838]

Exactly!

[@JP-nq5dp]

Well if you watched the video before you started you would see she's turning the nut backwards when putting it back on

[@themerc123]

I did the same thing but if you look on the front of the clutch it says it’s left handed, so I felt pretty stupid after the fact

[@EverydayMan]

@@themerc123 me too!!!!

[@benayre6314]

Me too I stripped it just now..: wtf

[@Lurch77]

This is an excellent to the point video on how to do this! Thank you. I need to change the belt on one of these machines and this video showed and described the process the best of any I watched. This is without a doubt the most tedious belt change I've ever had to do on any machine.

[@claytonhartman9518]

Great video, I liked how you pointed out right hand thread on secondary bolt. Might be helpful to mention that it looked like secondary bolt appeared to be left hand thread?

[@steveropp5864]

Yup I fucked mine by watching how that one came off. Didn’t see mark on clutch till too late!

[@-Hammer-]

No need to take the dash or the console cover off. You can reach the belt cover without doing those steps.

[@extremesurfher]

The primary clutch bolt is a reverse thread! Great video but this point should be overstated for folks doing this for the first time.

[@dwalsh5925]

Looks like primary clutch is reverse threaded

[@themerc123]

Hey maybe you guys should pin a comment clarifying that the bolt on the primary clutch is reverse threaded so the people watching don’t end up in the spot me and a 100 other people got in.

[@carterlock2067]

AGREEE

[@themerc123]

@@carterlock2067 did you strip the nut?

[@themerc123]

@@carterlock2067 if you did strip the nut out, it’s a m16r x 1.50 thread I got it at McMaster-Carr.

[@dscott130]

Thank you, sweetpea! I'm going to replace mine tomorrow. I have a 2016 800 LE with 2880 fairly easy miles on it.

[@SuperATVMedia]

Glad we could help!

[@jonathanashley1928]

I wonder how many people have stripped the retainer nuts by watching this video and doing the exact same thing she does on the primary clutch. It is a reverse thread nut.

[@davecritzer2342]

Exelant mechinical removal skills

[@SuperATVMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@claytonhartman9518]

Haha, sorry I didn’t see previous comment! Great video

[@gsmith207]

If she was my daughter I would open a ATV/side by side shop Immediately... awesome! Doing mine right now. Thank you!

[@pulga1724]

Hello i have a kawasaki tyrex 750 2012, i have have change my belt 2 times in the last 2 month do to engine tearing the belt! I cant find the cause of this? Can you help me pleass

[@freddyacosta3852]

Question do you guys know any video where show the oil pump change for 2018 kawasaki teryx800 ? Please

[@SuperATVMedia]

No, unfortunately we have not come across any videos to show this being done.

[@MrF4tty]

And I was just about to buy aTeryx

[@renolta1365]

After some research I'm getting torque 100ft and 69ft, is this correct?

[@SuperATVMedia]

You should be able to find the exact specs for your machine in the owner's manual.

[@chriswilliams2917]

Do both torque the same 68 ftlbs?

[@joshparsons2534]

secondary (driven) sheave is 100ft lbs torque.

[@roaddog7542]

I'll do my own cooking and cleaning. That gal is the marrying kind. ❤

[@SuperATVMedia]

😂

[@jaredroberson8049]

Anyone else have problems getting secondary to come off with primary. Seems like it’s seized on. Watched another video where he used 2 bolts tried it and it still won’t do anything

[@jaredroberson8049]

For anyone interested or having same problems I tried making a puller did not work ended up going to Oreilly’s and renting a steering wheel puller worked great

[@Noe-wy6wo]

Thanks Jared, I'm right at this point and looks like I will have to get me a steering wheel puller. Thanks for letting us know. I may do a video on it cuz there's nothing in the KZbin world on it. 👍

[@Granpaa]

I to am very disappointed they did not edit the nut removal at 4:27. More than one will damage their threads. Come on go back in there and at least post something, this does nothing for your credibility.

[@pauldatuin6123]

Is this the same process for an 09?

[@SuperATVMedia]

Not 100% sure, I would think its close to the same.

[@joshparsons2534]

You donot need to remove the primary on a 2009. Rockymountainatv has a video on it i suggest watching.

[@gonzobongo6669]

@@joshparsons2534 What about on a 2010?

[@bayside6207]

@@joshparsons2534 Was wondering the same thing- how about in a 2010 model, I'd imagine that 2010 is the same as the '09

[@nathanduckeorth806]

If ya went through all that process to inspect the belt you would be almost dumb not to install a new one! WOW

[@terrancesmith1674]

Well unless you only replace the belt and do not service the clutches there's no point in doing any of it.

[@psehunter3525]

Keep your teryx I’m fine with my rzr! That belt change takes me 10 min on the trail

[@SuperATVMedia]

The saying goes "different strokes for different folks" applies here :). We have videos pertaining to the rzr line as well, be sure to check them out!

[@Popgunner101]

You'll be changing your RZR belt every other trip. Have fun!

[@nikolatesla719]

I will. Rzr are not even 1/2 as reliable 👍

[@michaelgay125]

What sizes lift ant tires and portal?

[@kaylar2019]

Really easy job out in the field what was Kawasaki thinking? Remove the freaking gas tank ridiculous!!!

[@terrancesmith1674]

It can be done without removing the gas tank it's just not as easy

[@Titantramp4u]

Wow....better not blow a belt out on a ride...

[@SuperATVMedia]

No doubt, that is why preventative maintenance is important. Good news is though the Teryx has a good clutching system and general never blows a belt unless seriously abused, meaning running in high range when you should of been in low range.

[@Titantramp4u]

OK...I know nothing of the mechanics of the Teryx except it did have a CVT belt. I own a RZR 4S and enjoy learning how other brand do things, which is why I enjoyed your video...Thank you

[@myamigood]

Holy shit.. my only question is what would it cost to have it done by someone more mechanicaly inclined than me

[@woodburner1000]

Ok I would never get one of these

[@SuperATVMedia]

The Kawasaki Teryx has one of the more tedious belt changes!

[@trevorfout4759]

You took of way more then i did

[@SuperATVMedia]

We try to show the best way to do it even for someone who isn't very mechanically inclined.

[@mattsmith6828]

that's "all" it takes?...... is this considered relatively easy for a UTV? she just disassembled a quarter of that thing!

[@myamigood]

Yeah easy my asse way beyond my skills.. to the shop it goes

[@roadglider00]

Holy shit! Thanks a lot design engineers. LOL. That is ridiculous to have that level of disassembly. Great video though.

[@SuperATVMedia]

It is a decent amount of work, that's for sure!

[@robertlawson1184]

Imagine snapping your belt somewhere 8 hours one way with your tools also left in your truck. Ooof.

[@conniemilan3805]

You need to up date for newer years the fuel tank does not come out that easy

[@terrancesmith1674]

Well you dropped tge ball you do not need to remove either clutche to remove tge belt. You only need two bolts to insert into your secondary clutch.

[@renolta1365]

Maybe on the 2012 and 2013 but on newer models that doesn't work, don't be an ***

[@jamiesloan7259]

Or…. Just buy a Honda Talon. 😊

[@bayside6207]

All that removal to change the drive belt, what a stupid design.

[@jreed10291974]

No way I would own one of these the belt is a consumable should be easy to get to.

[@4x4pup51]

You did wayyyyy more work than you needed to do your drive belt. You don't have to pull out the clutch to do it!

[@SuperATVMedia]

Models vary per year and sub model. Not all units need the clutch removed, but some do.
