Broken belt on a 2007 650 H1 - Planet Side X Side

Desertcat · 06-29-2008, 11:33 PM

Hey guys just blew my first belt. I have 810 miles on this unit.I pulled the cover off and I am trying to pull all the old belt out. Is there anything I should be checking out for the cause or could it just be an old belt?

pull off the rear clutch and make sure the rollers arent flattened and make sure you locktite the nut back on when your done

I pushed the rear clutch in towards the engine so I could see the rollers and they have flat spots. Some of them have the rubber coating rollled up. What is the best way to remove that clutch? Will an impact pop it loose, consider when you turn it the shaft turns? Should I use stock belt and rollers?

you will have to use an impact , use a stock belt and speedwerx makes some lighter rollers with will help your exceleration

Ok so use a stock belt and aftermarket rollers. Will I notice a big difference with aftermarket rollers?

its noticable and you can re-clock the helix on the secondary clutch

This is great information, thank you so much. One last question, why OEM belt?

i had never found a aftermarket one that fit and know a guy that tried a couple on his rhino and they didnt last long at all

the stock belts seem to last longer than the aftermarket racing belts....I tried two different supposedly HD belts (heavy Duty) BOTH of them seemed to slip more when under extreme load and BOTH burned up reletively quick.

800plus miles is a LONG WAY to get out of a belt..I change mine every 300 miles now as I was tired of getting stuck...or ruining the ride and having to go home.

change it at 600 miles at home...save yourself some trouble.

light grease on the rollers and for gods sake locktight the big nut.

there was a FREE downloadable rhino manual online for a while from some guy in a Euro country...I printed it out and put it in a binder...good stuff for the right price (run a search..it was listed on here.)

You guys rock with all this good information. So use lock tite and impact to tighten the nut? What kind of grease on the rollers?
