Why your Polaris RZR/General/Ranger has a Jerky Start!!

You can sand paper the edges of your belt to get glaze off and it stops the jerky start. Belt like new afterwards

I am a firm believer that a belt should be either engaged or not engaged, when starting out do not ease into the throttle, get on the throttle so that the belt engages quicker and does not slip.

Theres also something called the Carrier bearing that is between the two front seats on a 2 door rzr that over time wears out and also causes extreme jerkiness since the driveshaft wiggles which can cause the driveshaft to bend ive swapped this on 4 of our rzrs and had to swap a driveshaft too.

This is one of the big reasons why the Yamaha belt system is much better. It has a wet disk centrifugal clutch inside the gearcase for butter smooth take offs and much less belt wear. Yamaha also has a one way sprag clutch (similar to the gear driven Honda ATV's) so it has constant belt engagement all the time and excellent well controlled engine braking down hills. Great video explaining the problems with the Polaris setup!

Would appreciate any suggestions. 2012 Polaris 800 Razor EFI hesitates at 45-50 mph. 45 is about 6350rpm. Not really a sputter or cough. Repairman just cleaned throttle body and fuel injectors and said idle air circuit was partially open causing a misfire at that speed. None of the work performed solved the issue. One person suggested the primary and secondary cluthes might be fighting each other. Need to get it fixed pretty quick so we can sell it and move, but I want it to be right. I should also mention that it has full power no issues 0-45. No codes, no engine light. Always at that speed only.Thanks. Appreciate anything.

@@Hunterworks Thank You for your response. I have some new information on the 2012 Polaris 800 Razor having issues at 45mph. I was asked if it could go faster than 45mph. Just took it for another test. As usual it hesitates at 45mph. I pushed it on a longer stretch and when it gets to 50mph it stops hesitating. When I get to 55mph it hesitates again. Top speed is 60 mph at a maximum of 6500 rpm. To obtain codes, one video suggested turning the key off and on 3 times and it will show a code. Didn’t see anything pop up when I tried it. I don’t know if this 800 has the ability to display any codes? I’d like to include some responses from folks kind enough to offer suggestions to see if it triggers any other ideas pointing to one thing. The spark plugs were replaced about 1.5 years ago. They were examined recently and found to be good. I still might replace them as that’s a cheaper item. I suppose it could be a bad spark plug wire.. or coil wire. Your thoughts? Suggestions: fuel pressure check, sounds like fuel pump, spray water on spark plug wires and coil wire, Fuel stabilizer, Belt might be slipping, inspect clutches and belts, don’t think its clutch related, sounds like clutches sticking, check belt for damage, weights in primary clutch are too light, was IAC mechanically stuck open or electrically being opened. Thanks again. I’m hoping this new information might directly point to something that I will try and tackle on my own. Taking it in is a last resort for me. I promise, to get back to you once I find the issue! Thank you kindly. Very much appreciated. Dave

[@davepo6443]

@@Hunterworks Thank you

[@ROTAXD]

The biggest issue bar none with jerky starts is rider error. This seems to be 10x worse with old timers who are afraid of “abusing” their equipment as well as brand new riders. The reason why is that they barely breathe on the throttle because they don’t understand how a cvt type clutch works. The best way is to actually step on the throttle more than needed to get the sheaves of the drive clutch to lock up with the belt. After you’re moving, you can lift to acheive smooth acceleration.

[@Hunterworks]

While is true, they are not going to do it

[@BG-bx4ey]

I just bought an 08 rzr 800 with stock tires, 70 hours, garage kept. It is in pristine condition. I am an old timer at heart, so you're not wrong, but when I'm on a steep mountain bear hunting trail, I don't want to have to floor it for smooth accelleration. I'm in low gear, moving slow and smooth is REQUIRED. I owned the first 4-wheeler ever made and it drove better than the Rzr.

[@mountainhollers2661]

@@Hunterworks hey Todd. Appreciate ya and all your videos. Unrelated, but I figure you’d be the man to ask. If descending a steep slope in a Polaris ranger 570 (no “active descent control” feature), you obviously need to keep enough throttle to stay engaged so you’re not freewheeling down the grade. Is it just a matter of practice to be able to finesse it and not alternate between gaining too much speed and then jamming on the brake lol? I know some folks will give it constant throttle to keep clutch engaged and apply brakes as necessary . Is it harmful for the machine to do that? Again, appreciate your insight. Hope business is still good

2016 900 Xp ranger when I bought new I complained the lock up was horrible and jerky and seemed like the gear selector linkage wasn’t adjusted as it would not be in the correct spot say if I moved from low to reverse and would grind if I bumped the selector it would fall in gear. Polaris replaced the clutch made it some better hooks up at a lower rpm but still jerks especially under a load at a low rpm, love the utv EXCEPT for those issues. Will your belt help or cure ? Any idea on the linkage ? Should I try and adjust ?

All depends on what is causing it, our belt will be less jerky for sure, cure it 100% no but way better. The Duraclutch mentioned cures it. On the shifting just hard to say a clutch can cause it if not fully releasing.

can you please explain how the spider could possibly "back off"? as the force of friction with the belt actually tightens the clutch during driving and acceleration in both forward and reverse. there could possibly be a back off force during deceleration but that force would likely be much lower than acceleration ones.

[@Hunterworks]

The force on decel is pretty good and vibrations of the engine. So you speed up tighten, decel loosen and over time that back and forth then engine vibrations turn it out.

The nut some times come off all by itself and there is no force on it all. Not sure the why is important because the only way to fix it is take it apart, and lather it up with 620 loctite.

[@Hunterworks]

you are over due and getting close to new clutch time possibly, life varies, average is 2500-4000 miles

[@chadgreiner5634]

@@Hunterworks thank you

[@eastkyhunter6294]

2018 1000 Xp mine has done it from the git go brand new no wear on anything was told by several shop mechanics said it was dew to the square fly weights in the clutch so witch is it are you trying to sell something

[@Hunterworks]

What are square flyweights? There are square pucks in the secondary and you need our round rollers so it does not wear it out but that has nothing to do with a jerky start, it has to do with what this video says, nothing else. Dealers are dumb

[@kungfucommando1642]

My brand new RS1 has a jerky engagement every now and then. Sometimes, well most of the time it’s very smooth, but every now and then it has a clunky sounding jerky engagement. Is this normal?

[@Hunterworks]

Normal

[@tonyw2960]

Do you also do belts for the 2016 xds turbo? Thanks

[@Hunterworks]

Only Can Am is the X3, sorry.

[@tonyw2960]

Can you recommend a good second choice as am running nitrous so a good belt is paramount was even thinking about your clutch system to give me a bit more transferable power

[@Hunterworks]

@@tonyw2960 We don't have a clutch system for a Can Am. I would say a OEM belt for it since we don't have one

[@echo5225]

I don't understand why nobody carries parts for non xp 2020 rangers

[@Hunterworks]

Parts is a wide term, but our reasons on clutching is just one vehicle with this clutch. We are making a belt for it though.

[@MrVanceSanders]

Both my primary and secondary are spinning while idling in park is that normal

[@Hunterworks]

No email me and I can send you some links to help find it [e-mail]

[@pete1735]

I have a rs1 it's like going down hill makes all kinds of noise do they make a different clutch for it or do you think one of your belts would help I do a lot of slow speeds or do you think I need different springs it's a 2018 with 32s on it

[@Hunterworks]

We do not offer a kit for it nor clutches, you might have an issue you need to look for, you can use our 2016-20 turbo troubleshooting videos, more or less same clutches. Our belt while not listed for a RS1 is much thicker than stock, works great, go to our site and order any turbo rzr belt. They are all the same here and works great on it

[@pete1735]

Thank you for the info I will get a turbo belt off you guys and thanks again

@@pete1735 Appreciate that, Todd

[@gabrielkopp2036]

Ok exlpain why my 570 has done this since day one off showroom floor?

[@Hunterworks]

probably due to you easing on the gas, just gas on it

[@mrjoehimself]

wait...so a jerky start is not normal? honest question, I couldn't tell from the video if a jerky start is normal or a problem.

[@Hunterworks]

Watch our newer video called jerky start is normal and not normal

[@hernandezjesus5811]

On a rzr xp4. Can a slipping belt cause unit to go into limp mode? Thanks in advance

[@Hunterworks]

yes but what is causing the slipping belt is the question

2021 trail 900 50" belt same as the older model belt? Part #? Brand new and this jerky/clunking at very low speeds is driving me nuts.

[@Hunterworks]

Same OE belt, our 900 belt will be better and please change our secondary pucks to rollers. All on our site www.hunterworks.com

There is a video about every belt we have, see our channel

[@benchmarksam6624]

Are you talking about the metallic clunk noise when you step on the gas? mine is brand new and dose it.

[@Hunterworks]

Benchmark Sam no. When you get about 300 miles on it you will know. Nothing you can do about that noise

[@anthonybagent2764]

How to get that black shaft off on

[@Hunterworks]

What?

[@donfrederick4825]

Your belt for my 2019 ranger xp has eased the jerky start a fair amount, but what would cause a small chirp at low speeds? The chirp disappears around 8 and 10 mph.

[@Hunterworks]

The crappy secondary they use has a harmonic noise

[@nathanduckeorth806]

Bad spot on the belt more than likely first thing I would do is try a new belt!

Nathan Duckeorth why what? What you asking

[@brandonpeterson9293]

Maybe someone on here can give me some insight, I have a 19 ranger 1000 xp HL edition and in high gear it make some clinkin and clunkin noise when you take off from a stop (almost like the clutch is engaging and then not engaging) in high gear doesn’t do it in low or reverse. I put a clutch kit in it thinking that solved the issue but it didn’t, I’m kinda at a loss and not sure where to go from here, belt doesn’t look in bad shape and doesn’t have any chunks missing. Any help would be appreciated lol

[@Hunterworks]

Sounds like belt is just slipping and gripping causing the noise. How many miles on it?

[@brandonpeterson9293]

@@Hunterworks honestly off the top of my head im not sure how many miles are on the belt. What belt would you recommend?
