How to troubleshoot a Polaris RZR or Ranger Primary Clutch

[@lorijohn101]

Great to see you're putting it some new videos!

[@quinnhunter20]

Your the man! Love your videos.

[@EJfromNYC]

Who makes your belt? Is it better made than the "world's best belt"? I've used your transmission/engine spacer tool, I've called and spoken with you as well, you've helped me with a reduction kit from a guy you recommended... Currently upgrading clutch springs, your videos helped so much...

[@Hunterworks]

Watch this video, it answers all your questions including I believe who makes the worlds best which is made overseas now that they have been bought out twice kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH3Xon6th8yYo9Esi=WiU0DtH22BgvlbTW

@@Hunterworks Timken? Well it doesn't hurt to try, it's not like the other belts don't break 😂

[@jasonbell4670]

So you say when you pull it up and down and it sticks, and you said you've never figured out why they do. Well that's what mines doing, when I pull up the spider part it sticks and doesn't slide up and down with ease. I've cleaned and cleaned and blew it out and it still sticks?? What in the world can that be?

[@brianwilson7408]

So I tore mine apart because of the bearing gone bad. I only decided to replace rollers, buttons, etc because it seems like the logical thing to do when you're that far into it. I don't understand why you are saying that it won't last? Is there something that I should be checking for?

[@Hunterworks]

I say because it is true, most do not get very many miles after a rebuild and you can't put metal back on the belt surface

[@thomasashwell5909]

Cleaned clutch with cleaner like showed on your cleaning video weights have some flat spots but when clean we’ll runs great for about 30 minutes then stalls when stop or slowly idles on own untill stalls out again would that be weights or a totally new clutch?

[@Hunterworks]

My opinion new clutch, sounds like rollers are bad

[@joelramirez3053]

I have a 2012 rzr 800, primary clutch is rubbing against the inner clutch cover. The screws are tight behind the clutch as well, what could cause that?

[@Hunterworks]

Aftermarket clutch or warped cover

[@joelramirez3053]

@Hunterworks okay must be clutch then, cause they did a mudder clutch kit install, so I think they had the wrong springs in the wrong clutches, cause I replaced the cover already, but thanks for the response, I'm putting stock clutch back in

[@krazium1776]

I found 2 bad lifters and my cam lobes are seared off but i cant turn the primary by hand pretty sure its stuck ingaged the clutch was already going out but i got milky oil so with the broken lifters is that how i got water in my oil or do you think i have a hole somewhere inside letting it mix together or do you think the head gasket went out with it? i popped the bottom hose off and it was antifreeze but whole top end is mixed and when i drained it it was mixed but no metal shavings

[@krazium1776]

if the clutch is stuck engaged i wouldnht be able to spin it would i ?

[@Hunterworks]

I do not know about engines, can't help there. The clutch is stuck because it is locked on the crank (normal) and the crank won't turn due to internal engine issues.

[@dylantownsend32]

So are the weights supposed to have side to have side to side movement?

[@Hunterworks]

A little

[@rodneyelliott7667]

Hey I have a pretty good groove at the bottom of primary do I need to replace with a new primary

[@Hunterworks]

Depends on if it is affecting the vehicle or not

[@ClaytonHenderson497]

I have some space between my bearing and washer, I'm guessing that means my spider nut backed off. Should i bring it to 3p offroad to have them tighten it back up or just buy a new clutch?

[@Hunterworks]

There is supposed to be a little, are you having issues with the clutch?

[@ClaytonHenderson497]

@@Hunterworks my clutches have been aligned with your alignment tool, but I’m having an issue shifting in between gears.

[@Hunterworks]

@@ClaytonHenderson497 that is one of three reasons, just email me this question [e-mail]

[@BCarlson-y2h]

What happens If your primary clutch doesnt have a washer? What's the symptoms ill run into? 21 rzr 1000 xp

[@Hunterworks]

Which washer, under the bolt that holds it on or inside on the spider nut?

[@jenrizar660]

Hi sir my question is if my 1994 polaris 300cc 2x4 has the middle bearing because it seem like is one piece thank you

[@Hunterworks]

Im not 100% but pretty sure no bearing in that one, belt has to be loose to idle in gear

[@jenrizar660]

@@Hunterworks thank you so much sir appreciate it 🫡

[@darrennewton88]

This a problem that Polaris needs to put in there warranty and common .my clutch went out only using my new razor 3 times ..didnt even get a chance to do a oil change on it. Same problem wit my brothers . .. and ive seen many other customers wit that problem. Needs to change that or make it better especially on a dam automatic..

[@chevymudding01]

Did it on my sportsman 850 with only 300miles loud clunking noise when hit gas and letting off

[@kimbletrainer3605]

what causes the primary clutch on a 2017 1000xp highlifter to have a groove worn into the primary with only 500 miles ?? cant find any videos of why it would be causing a groove with such little mileage.. has only been ridden roughly 150 miles per year since new and mudded once and slightly burned the belt to where it keeps throwing the missfire code constantly when mashing the throttle. THANKS

[@Hunterworks]

all of them get a slight groove near the bottom as that is where the belt touches when you first start of, no big deal. Misfires etc are a bigger worry and if the spider and nut backed of, deeper groove and misfires occur

[@kimbletrainer3605]

Thank you for your response! When I get my clutch kit for the 32” tires I’ll be sure to check the spider and nut! I’m probably just over thinking it. Came from a yxz1000r to a Polaris cvt and I know little about these machines

[@Hunterworks]

@@kimbletrainer3605 you are not overthinking, a healthy vehicle never hits a rev limiter you have a clutch issue

[@jacobfoulds7618]

I cannot get full RPMs it will go up to 7000 and I can only hit about 68 miles an hour is that a clutch issue 2020 Polaris razor 1000 stock primary 3800 miles 220 hours Replacement stock secondary with your Hunter works rollers

[@Hunterworks]

low speed and rpm normally not clutch related, low power issue and you just have to find it, could be simple as dirty air filter

[@jacobfoulds7618]

@@Hunterworks I have full RPM below 60 miles an hour full speed full acceleration after 60mph the RPMs start to fall off to eventually only 7000 from around 8200 Air filter is clean the frog skin leading to the air filter is clean no debris past the filter

[@Hunterworks]

@@jacobfoulds7618 All I can tell you is most likely not clutching, there are some rare things that cause this in there but most times some kind of low power issue

[@jacobfoulds7618]

I blew out my clutches with some compressed air and I’m running 2 gallons of 110 octane and the rest 87 seem to clean everything up it’s getting full RPMs running good

[@jacobfoulds7618]

Almost no dust came off the clutches so I’m leaning towards it was the fuel I’ll do a good shake down on the machine and post my results

[@clarkkent7821]

You know that man's voice sounds just like the man that used to run a show called red jacket where they made guns. That's who I thought it was when I first heard it but I know that's impossible.

[@eltutoc90]

Hi i have a 2011 rzr 800 and rpms go up and down 1200-1700 rpm and when it goes down after a few seconds it the gas and goes back up and takes a few seconds 15-20 sec to go down can that be the clutch ?

[@Hunterworks]

No sir

[@ericpigg2689]

Have you seen the inboard face of the primary break into pieces? 2017 XP 1000. Not raced or abused. 325 miles. I can send pics if you jave an email available. Thanks!

[@Hunterworks]

yes lots of times, just happens for no reason most times had a crack in it new

[@ericpigg2689]

@@Hunterworks Thank you. I sent you an email last night with a few pictures. It was new to me, and strange how symmetrically it broke out. Hoping the new one fixes the issue!
