Any thoughts???

Overgreasing the One-Way bearing assembly will make your belt slip and a bad PTO crank seal may as well .
The clutch sheaves being too shiny will also do it .
Any contamination on the sheaves &/or belt is not a good thing .

 

I thought of that too.... So far looks good... I've cleaned off the insides of the clutch with brake cleaner & soft wool... (Then rubbing alcohol)

I'm thinking it may be time for a new primary and or secondary as they get very shinny very fast.

 

Pull them off and scuff them up with 150 paper on a palm sander .
Just did mine .

 

Really? I was wondering about that,,,, I wanted to do that too but my buddies are like "NOOO DON'T DO THAT.. YOUR BELT WILL SHRED!" LOL I'm gonna try that this week-end. Cheers!

 

It won't hurt your belt

 

You in high or low?

 

How sure are you on that clutch kits set up? I'd look into that......

 

Sounds like that primary isn't pinching the belt well enough,biggest problem of a clutch that doesn't lock up...Like Deadman says,^^^^ I would check that set up...

 

All of the "CURES" mentioned are Band Aids, they help but will not stop the bleeding.
The clutches with those symptoms are {SLIPPING}.
The outer sheave is playing catch up with the inner and creating excessive heat and belt slip leading to eventual belt failure.
Reason is simple, the mating cones have to little surface and are at to steep an angle to hold the applied forces under load. Locking them will stop the slipping and all of the problems related to it.
Clutch kits are designed to get all the available HP to the ground but they cannot do so if the clutch is not doing it's part.
Locking the clutch gets the available HP to the ground and the clutch kits match the HP, Torque to the demands of the rider resulting in better backshifting under loads and holding the rpm in the most advantageous torque range, none of which can be accomplished if the clutch is slipping.
Happy to send a Lock up Mod info sheet to anyone interested, PM here or e-mail to uatvtech@gmail.com

 

does it in both

 

Awesome. That sounds like you hit the nail on the head! I sent you an email... looking forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers!

 

You know what the difference between 'rubbing' alcohol and pure isopropyl (IPA) alcohol is? The oil added to the rubbing stuff. You'd be better off grabbing a bottle of isopropyl or the red bottle of HEET.

 

Scotchbrite the clutch sheaves....blow off with air.
