Glad I found just enough internet service out on the trail to teach me how to change my first belt. Thank you thank you thank you

[@michealrfelton8061]

I know it's an older video but thank you guys for putting this up it helped me out a lot and I just bought this exact model

[@mikemiller9119]

Thank you :)

You guys Rock.

Very helpful. 2018 belts easily lasting 1500 miles.

[@dwanemeans3779]

Thanks

[@atvnvanzander]

Can you thread a bolt through the center of the tool? Or does it have to be the threaded hole on the side?

[@parkcitymacs]

Great video and well explained. I had to help my buddy with his Can Am and this was useful. However, I will admit, this whole episode just adds more reasons to why I LOVE my Yamaha YXZ so MUCH!! Also, I did not realize the Can Am belts cost more than a YXZ Barnett Clutch, carbon fiber, with springs; which you change in a YXZ at about 9,000 miles. No regrets! Thanks!

[@davidpaulin]

depends how it's being driven .. brp research center have a xyz and they exploded a clutch well before 1000kms

[@parkcitymacs]

Very true! In particular if you race. Having a product that can be raced and hammered on, yet is reliable... Well, it's why the YXZ is the dominant race machine. Reliability and cost.~ proof is in the race results. If they get King of Hammers this year, they will tie up almost every off-road series. Again, working on my buddies 17' Can-Am and the seeing endless electrical problems he has had and see how many X3's sit in the shop weekend after weekend, really made me glad what I chose!

[@ericbuchta9765]

parkcitymacs How to replace the x3 spark plugs? I have a miss fire on all three cylinders. That is what they told me to do. Also bad gas they said did it.

I purchased an 2019 Maverick x3 turbo R. I was told that I should always have an extra clutch belt on hand before going out riding. What aftermarket belts do you suggest, please?

[@rmatvmc]

Congrats on the new machine! There are a lot of varying opinions out there and everybody has their preference but other than the OEM belt, I would recommend trying one of the Trinity Racing Extreme belts.

how do you adjust belt deflection?

If you broke the back side of the housing what do you have to do to change it

[@garygonzales9272]

I purchased a super atv belt for my x3 there are not any directional arrows on the belt. I need some guidance

[@myquicklist1]

I have heard that you should wash the new belt with soap and warm water before installing it, is this true? I have not blown a belt yet as I just recently purchased my Maverick X3 Max Xrs. I have purchased a spare belt just in case. I need to find out if washing it is required or not.

[@rmatvmc]

*Babak Sadeghpour* We don’t see it to be a problem just as long as its dry before install. Definitetly a little scotch bright pad on the sheaves is a good practice as well. Thanks for watching.

[@myquicklist1]

Thank you for the reply, so you do not see it to be a problem with washing it? or not washing it at all?

[@Ramg66]

@@myquicklist1 He doesn't see a problem washing it, hence make sure it's dry before installing.

[@jorgeesparza325]

When rotating the clutch to settle the belt, if I rotate it too much will harm anything? I’ve been going into limp mode going over 40mph

[@sahibdipsandhu]

nah it shouldnt do naything buscause all your doing is spinning it. Nothing is really going on. I'd say its pretty good chance something else is wrong with your unit. Best of luck to you homie

That clutch tool, was it supposed to come with the machine purchase?

[@rmatvmc]

Buying the machine new yes, they should come with that clutch tool.

[@MrMoronification]

Thanks sir!

[@camyota]

My buddy has an 800 defender which requires that same tool...it didn't come with it, where would he buy one?

[@MrMoronification]

camyota 912 from his dealer or online

[@G1bson258]

Southeast Georgia Scale R.C. Walk in your can-am dealer and ask them for a tool kit that comes standard with these machines. They should be free and always have a bunch of spares

[@DaltonP2156]

Is it normal for the belt driven open tool to eat into the metal? When I changed mine it left a spot where it made contact with machine

[@nicklandrum1820]

Yes just put a quarter in between or buy the aftermarket wrench

[@GEAE_Denny_L]

Some belts have no directional arrow. Then what ?

Neutral or park will be fine. -Charles

Should be behind the driver seat on a 2 seat or behind the driver side rear seat on a 4 seater.

[@dustyfarmer]

Should have blown the dirt & dust out of the clutches with compressed air & wiped down the case.

The round spreader tool does not come with the machine. FOS

[@TheBandit7613]

So much easier and cheaper than replacing the defective clutch in the YXZ. Glad I didn't buy the YXZ with NO low range. Poor design by Yamaha.

[@ojtamayosr]

The YXZ is a one-trick pony. Only good for running fast in flat open terrain.

[@DUNEATV]

I’d go with a YXZ but great video!

[@inpursuitofgoodservice9636]

Where is a good video on how to judge what torque you’ve applied when hand tightening a wrench? You said tighten to 4.4 lbs of torque and I am unfamiliar with how to achieve that without some measuring device??

[@rmatvmc]

There is no good method to determine torque by hand tightening. You need a torque wrench
