Finally not some bullshit video, straight to the point and useful.

[@ericandmarthajewkes920]

So nice to have simple informative videos that we can trust.

[@sandwich7502]

Thank you very much for the video!! I’m newer into sleds and changed to a new belt and was able to adjust it perfectly! Love the content!

[@chadthiem8371]

Dude your such a legend how you just throw sleds around in the backcountry. simply amazing. i just use mine to put around the lake when ice fishing. i’ll tip over on a snow bank 😂. one day i’d love to learn to tree ride on a new sled

Come ride with us!

Great video very well explained and short and to the point.. I feel like that was the best explanation I have seen on belt deflection thank you very much.

[@davemclaughlin296]

Wow. Great video. Excellent for beginners.

[@samsstreetmetalart7457]

Thank you Chris I know absolutely nothing about clutching right now but learning slowly will be a check I look into

[@thatalaskaguy]

Excellent, easy to understand belt tension adjustment!

[@gordonliddy9418]

Great video. I just got an old 05 rmk 900 today and yeah the secondary isn't right. This video will help get it right.

[@4930driver]

Appreciate that in depth look. Ive made the switch from Ski Doo to a new Khaos & was wondering if it was any different. Thank You

[@skipheald7300]

Excellent explanation! Makes a huge difference!

[@treytonrohloff5929]

Thank you for the easy tip.

[@Rokonroller]

Clear instructions!👍

[@GunGuyMatt]

Mine looks to be set exactly like that, just a bit of rib showing, and some tension when turning the belt - but as my belt gets hot especially when ripping hard it starts to squeel. I might have to open it up just a hair hey.

[@jefferyyeager7934]

Love the in depth look, i had the general idea, have adjusted mine a couple times, but this confirms my thoughts on it. Thanks for the advice!

[@KOGAMEOVER1]

Great video much appreciate this

[@treytonrohloff5929]

Will check my belt deflection before the next time I ride.✌

[@utubesnooper]

Thanks for the vid mines definitely wayyyy to loose

[@swoopit397]

So backing the screw out -tightens the secondary and pushing the screw loosens the secondary? Appreciate the vid

[@edwinhermanson8842]

Right or wrong I adj mine until it squeels at idle and then loosen it slightly to get rid if that. Hence 1st gear. Plus I really never idle a lot.

[@lobbyrobby]

Great video

[@edwinparson346]

dude, that's money! thanks.

[@DMAXLML2012]

Thank you!

[@attackpilot]

I have an M8000 with a BMP secondary and I can’t get the belt to deflect ? Any ideas?

[@craigauten1662]

How do you break the Allen screw loose mine is stuck. I broke the nut free but can't get the Allen to budge...thanks

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Loose belt makes more heat from slipping. Increasing the chance of blowing the belt.

[@swoopit397]

I noticed before I went snd rode today mine was really loose. So I tightened it up. But it was making a whiny sound throughout the day. Did I just over tighten it? Thanks for the videos!

[@Slednex700]

Ya, you’ve got it to short(tight)good rule of thumb.. Raise ass end, start it, you want the track to spin in air, but does not creep forward or squeal when tracks on ground.

[@swoopit397]

@@Slednex700 sweet!! Appreciate the help

[@wko78ms]

Did they get rid of the auto adjusters?

[@arthurskjoldbersas8111]

How to do this on my sportsman 500 2012?

[@erickholm9563]

What belts do you recommend? I ride a 16 Axys with BD sidekick turbo.

[@CaptainWY311]

OEM 👍

[@bigred1418]

So after adjustment I don't have to spread secondary?

[@Puckgrinder85]

Rotate the belt or track to allow the belt to slide in or out of the secondary depending on which way you adjusted./

[@JasonMcMurray]

time for polaris sleds to come with auto deflection adjustment similar to the cats. just saying thats the one thing i like more about my cat then my polaris!

[@daltonfleck]

Polaris is built for performance and light weight durability in the backcountry, not trail junkie sled Accommodations

[@JasonMcMurray]

@@daltonfleck My '19 alpha one (mountain sled) has auto belt deflection adjustment. It keeps the belt at perfect deflection all the time, in turn you get peak performance and longer belt life. My cat can get double the life of a belt compared to my 2020 Khaos which I seem to only be getting around 800 kms before it starts spitting cords or chunking. Not saying having to adjust my belt deflection every 4-5 rides is the end of the world but it sure is nice on the cat to never have to even look at it. What do you have for a sled and why are you against auto adjusting deflection? lol

[@daltonfleck]

@@JasonMcMurray oh I’m always looking for a reason to shit talking cat guys

[@newpylong]

@@JasonMcMurray Dealing with deflection is a small pain for how much better the Polaris clutches are over Cat's.

[@JasonMcMurray]

@@newpylong so now the Polaris comes with auto adjusting deflection this conversation seems irrelevant lol

[@bobjr5698]

I have a 12 rush stock what can is the best?

[@sequoiapietri5473]

Why is everything on the sled metric then the most used are SAE NO SENSE aftermarket fab guys just go with METRIC!! One tool set

Give away a sleddddd
