Mine seems to chirp coming down a hill, mainly when the belt is cold. I have noticed it other time though.

 

Mine chirped on my test ride and also when I picked it up. The dealership at Montclair Yamaha said it was normal, that they all do it. Only have 50 miles on it and still doing it. Must be normal.:question:

 

Mine is doing the same thing. It didn't do it when it was brand new. I have 44 miles on it now. You really just notice it when coasting at pretty low speed. I would love to know how to fix this problem. I wonder if a stronger kevlar belt would be the answer? Other than this I am very happy with my new toy.

 

i hear it only at low speeds and cold.

 

I noticed if I give it just a slight and consistent touch on the throttle when descending a hill the noise goes away. Only loud when coasting. Might have something to do with engaging?

 

used this technique in the dunes worked perfectly!

 

I had the same problem with mine.

 

Has anyone figured out a fix yet? I am having the same problem when costing at low speeds..
Thanks!

 

Bump!

 

I wonder if the nylon washer the comes with the epi kit would be enough to take up the slack at idle

 

Thanks Gary! Ima try that epi washer and i'll post what happens!!
Thanks again!

 

Let us know how it works.......

 

Just so you know... the regular RZR always WILL be faster off the line because of the much lighter/smaller tires and less weight... so don't let that be what has you worried.

 

3 buddys of mine broke there belts just before 35 hours on there rzr-s

i dont know why those things let go that fast and just to let you guys know as a recovery utv that yamaha rhino did the 35 miles of dune thick sand, towing that rzr back to the road.

all 3 of them broke with in 2 weekends
and that rhino still does the same thing.

shocked

that sound that comes of the belt its when going downhill or letting go of the gas paddle, we are looking into it to see what can we do at the shop to easy fix this,
will get updates here soon.

Any up-dates?

I was going to try the epi spacer...Just never got around to it!!! :scared2:

 

It also could be the belt deflection. This is how high the belt rides in the secondary clutch. I have had the same problem with my sleds. I haven't personally looked to see how to adjust the sheeves on the rzr secondary clutch, but maybe try that. It always works for my sled.

 

I noticed my S doing this chirp yesterday.
This is my third RZR and this is the first one to do this.

Its a loud chirp like the belt is hopping when I let of the throttle.

It can't be good.

 

you probably didnt have the EBS secondary on the other rzr's.. it's probably that doing it...it caused my belt to explode at 80mph..when i chopped the throttle

 

I finally took the clutch cover off and found that the belt was rubbing against the inside of the cover when free-wheeling. The smoke that I had see that first time was from the clutch cover not the belt. The belt looks fine other than a slight little wear on the top from rubbing the cover. I guess it will eventually rub a hole in the cover. I can keep it from doing it by holding the brake and giving it a little gas while going down hills...

 

I am running the EPI clutch kit with the little white washer on the primary and MCX adjustable weights.
I have noticed the clutch squeeling when coasting down hill a couple times. This is when the clutch dissengages. As stated by others a light tap on the throttle will re-engage the clutch and the squeeling stops.

I think it might have something to do with the one way bearing making noise, but that is just a guess.
Taking the clutch apart and cleaning out the belt dust might be a solution, but a pain to do!



I noticed some rub marks inside my clutch cover too. I thought they were from when I blew up one of the belts... but maybe it is rubbing all the time...?
I never had rub marks in the cover of my 2008 RZR...

 

I've learned to always keep the belt engaged on down hills (give it a little gas). Easier to control and way less belt wear. You have to drive two footed on real technical downhills. Hearing the belt squeel from free-wheeling (coasting) makes me cringe. After a couple hundred miles, mine works like the first day I got it.

 

I'd love to hear of a fix for the noise. My belt seems to be ok for now. 50 hours and 500 miles. I probably should get a spare.

 

I blew my first belt at 20hrs and 400 miles. I indexed the drive clutch to take up the 1/8 inch gap between the belt and sheves and im running 10 series sled weights instead of the 20's but it didnt really help. I can smell belt burning when i have it pinned for an extended time and on long hill climbs. I live at 7000 ft. so i run a pretty light weight compared to u sea level guys. Does anyone have a spring rate chart for the s? Ive asked my dealer but he hasent been able to find one...

 

Tlk to Dale at Dirty Dog, he can tell you all the spring rates

 

Mine does and I think it is just the nature of the beast. I would like to know the fix of it though... It drives me crazy!!!!!

 

turn stereo up louder

 

I had this problen untill I put a clutch kit in it. that was not the reason that I changed it out. just a bonus!!:rofl3:

 

I'm curious, mattman11, why did you change it? And what kit did you use that eliminated the squeal?

 

Mine goes tweet, tweet, tweet to. I have been just giving it throttle down hill but it kind of sucks.

 

And I thought I was the only one with this problem. I am so glad to know that it is not my bad luck! Anyone please e-mail me the simple fix.

 

Anyone come up with a fix yet, or any new info would be appreciated-- thanks
