You have to have the sensor centered over the belt so it has to go on the housing. All of mine came with instructions that helped you figure out where to put it.

 

I just spoke to Razorback via email and they said that they do not have a recommended place to mount the sensor for the PXP. He is going to reach out to some of his dealers and see what they have come up with for this. Im probably going to have to bail on this it seems unless someone out there has done it and can share some pics. Dang!

 

I can’t confirm this, but when the PXP was first released there was a video that showed details of the clutch cover, and mentioned that there were impressions molded into the clutch cover that were the locations that Polaris had used for belt temp sensors during testing, I’ll see if I can track down that video, might have been Hubert’s vid...

 

Yup, it was that video, start at the 11:20 mark

 

That is so funny because I just did some measurements and came upon that spot on my own! It's really the only good place to do it. Let's hope it works! Ill keep this thread updated. Thanks RWB, you are the man!

 

If you search through YouTube there was a KOH Pro XP build that showed where they mounted the probe.

 

Good call - here it is:

 

Sorry to Hijack the thread. I noticed it looks like those are carling switches in the switch spots. Some say the switches do not fit well. What is your experience with that? Did you do anything around them to make them fit snug? I think i heard the switch spots are sliding bigger not too sure. I would like to pull my switches out of mine and put them in a pro xp

 

I just installed the Razor back today. The video that shows the sensor installed in the metal part of the clutch cover was how I did it. Works perfect. Did take the secondary clutch off to make drilling much easier. If you do it this way you will see a ridge on the inside of the metal cover. I drilled the hole on the engine side of the ridge.

 

well sheet.. I guess I am going to have to do that too. I can patch up the cover pretty easily. Maybe ill install a high speed camera in the hole... "Belt Vision" You heard it here first - poor man's patent.

What kind of bit did you use? Can you post up some pics of the ridge?

 

On the video Phantom Ghost Project stop it at 2:03-2:05 and you will see the ridge. I used a metal drill bit. Did a pilot hole first then the right size recommended by Razor (sorry forgot the size). It is easy with the secondary clutch off. and drill from inside the cover.

 

will do - thanks bud. I decided to leave the sensor in the cover and just order a second sensor. that way I can try both and compare the results for this thread,

 

Super easy with the secondary out. Took all of 15 mins. Thanks guys.

 

Hey where did you connect for power? I have the AIM belt temp set up. There are flat blade connectors on the wiring harness for the AIM IR belt temp gauge.

 

Hey bimmerdog - be sure to blow out the metal shavings with air if you can. I just did and a ton came out, especially behind the plastic internal retainer. I couldn't believe how much was hidden in there.

 

Thanks. I did blow it out well.

 

I would think mounting the sensor 90 degrees to the belt and measuring the side temperature of the belt would not be accurate. The belt moves in/out of the clutches causing it to change positions vertically. This would cause the sensor to only read accurately when the sensor and belt are directed aligned. Mounting it in line with the belt rotation should be more accurate.

 

How’s this sensor location working out? Getting ready to install one.

 

It works great. Bang on placement and accurate readings. I wish I mounted the screen differently but oh well. I recommend that you go with one of those dash mounts for the screen....

 

Awesome thanks.

 

You can buy pulse bar connectors

 

Okay thanks for the heads up. Did you get them from Polaris or somewhere else?

 

I just bought cheap ones off eBay. Amazon has them. I just cut the ends off the wires and crimp the pulse connectors on. Makes for a clean install.
