2021 SRX
Hi, ive put a new belt on my 2021 SRX and its sitting lowing in the secondary clutch, how do I get the belt to sit alittle higher?
I know on the old Yamaha’s you added or removed shims, ive searched the internet and cannot seem to find the proper process.
Thanks
 

It's in the owners manual.
Remove bolt that holds secondary clutch on shaft. Slide aluminum plug off of bolt and add one small washer which will allow secondary to close more. Install aluminum plug back on bolt and install back on shaft.
No need to remove clutch at all while setting deflection.

Dont have the manual for this machine or i would have went there first, thank you, there was three washers on it, im down to one, can you run with none?
 
Just need the big washer and plug to hold secondary on.
If you blew a belt you might want to remove secondary and disassemble to clean all cords out. That might keep it from closing more.

I am pretty sure you need to add a washer in between plug and large washer to close secondary.
Washers between bolt head and large washer are there for storage and don't affect secondary at all
 
Why is the "new" belt sitting low? You would think, if anything it would be high.
Did you run the machine and make sure the secondary clutch was completely closed?

Right, you do add a washer.
Take note also there are different thicknesses available, .5mm and 1mm.
 
The original belt had 4000kms on it, it was a Yamaha belt, i installed a new XS 825.
Ok so i add washers to get the belt up lol!
Thanks guys!
 
Set it and ride the sled even if just across the parking lot. You can't set deflection on the stand
