Mine does the same. Everything I have read shows others with same issue. Apparently a aftermarket belt helps some (thinking Gates) and there are some clutching improvements that really help. Wish I had some links but I'm sure someone else will jump in.

You are right, lots of people say the Gates C12 helps this


Polaris RZR XP 1000 900, Polaris Ranger 800 - Polaris RZR 900 15-17 Gates C12 CVT Belts


Also, just not a good idea to ease on the gas if you can help it, gas on it

Yes, this is normal. Drives me nuts.

 

Is that the number for a 17 900 trail also?

 

Yes, all 900 15-17 models use the same belt

Todd

 

2017 900 le ?

 

Yes, all 15-17 900 models use the same belt

 

Thanks ALL!

 

My '16 trail does it noticeably worse than my '15 trail did.

Have to be careful loading it into a trailer, as it's hard to finesse it going forward or backward.

 

My 2017 Trail does the same thing, you need to stomp on the gas to get it to move and when it does, it is with a jerk. I thought perhaps a clutch kit would help but after talking to Todd at Hunterworks he told me anything less than a replacement with a Duraclutch would not give me the smooth response I am looking for.
Unfortunately $1,200 i snot in the cards right now, maybe next spring!

 

A dalton kit and gates belt will help for sure the duraclutch is just the only 100% fix

Mine 2015 does the same. I just back up a little faster and let the clutch fully engage and the jerking goes away.

 

My 2015 900s did the same thing. I just put in a new Gates belt and it seems to have completely fixed it. I didn't think it would fix it but it did.

 

Gates belt fixed it for me.

 

AMAZING! Installed a Gates belt today the issue is gone... one grab as the clutch engages that's it! THANKS for the advise and input!!

 

Gates from Todd really makes this issue better. Just changed my existing Gates belt after a 5 day 700 mile marathon trip because it was getting really jerky again. When I pulled the belt it was glazed pretty good because I'm sure I didn't use low when I should have. Put the new belt on and it engaged great again. Surprisingly the old belt measured up within one mm of the new belt so it holds up super, just my fault for not using low when I should have.

 

Replaced stock belt with about 600 miles on it with the Gates C12. Night and day difference.
