Belt and Clutch Help

[RockinJW]

How far down into the cltuch should the belt be when the sled is stopped and not running? I mean shoulf the outer edge of the belt be about flush with the outer edge of the secondary clutch sheaves?

I'm having some issues with my clutching, it's like the belt is slipping or something. The sled will hit about 8800 rpm then it just acts like it hits a wall if it's out in fresh snow, out on the trail it feels fine. But you put a big load on the track and it just stops at 8800 for a few seconds then will rev right up to where it should be.

I'm wondering if the secondary is messed up since I stiffened the spring up. I'm going to put the clutch back to it's stock position for the next ride and see what happens then...

Speaking of belts and clutches...is the belt tension adjustable?

Also, I read to remove the belt you turn the innermost sheave clockwise to spread the secondary to get the belt off. Is that correct?

Yeah...I have seen the dealer do it, but I tried and couldn't do it as easily.
The idea is that you "tug" the inner half of the driven clutch as you turn it clockwise. But I tell you it needs to be quite the "jerk", or maybe I am just a weeney....

Have you tryed holding the brake lever, then push the inner sheave. Or put the parking brake on.

I like BRP's setup for taking the belt off. I wish Yamaha would do that as well.

Rich motorsport sell a device that works the same way as on the skidoo

how do you install that?

That will not work on the Phazer secondary. You would have to drill a hole through the outside (stationary) sheave so the bolt would push against the movable sheave.
