Default Re: Revolt clutch mod

a polaris clutch in general is exactly like the one you have, i mean EXACTLY except for it is a tiny bit different and has more available parts for it. if you have belt squeal on decelleration you need to figure out why the belt is squealing and try to diagnose the cause. usually once your belt wears out, it gets thinner and the secondary (belt tensioner) cant squeeze closed enough to keep the belt tight so it slips in the secondary or primary. OR, if you have an aftermarket primary spring that is too soft of a spring rate, it will not allow the primary to snap back shut on decelleration and cause the belt to slip. but one of the main causes of belt slippage is the super slick surface of the clutch sheaves (halves). the surface is slick as glass, and if the planets are not in alignment, and the sun is not at 23* north (purely sarcastic) the belt will slip. if i were you i'd take my clutch cover off and ride the thing and see which pulley the belt is slipping in. then diagnose from there. also get a set of calipers and measure the belts thickness across the top. i dont know your belts max and min thicknesses, but i'm sure someone on here can find it in a manual for you. if the belt is too thin, it will cause the belt to slip and its just time to replace the belt pal!
