Clutch will work much better at 10.501 than 10.450". Just get it closer than it was, you'll be happy. Better low end acceleration. Less belt slipping too.

 

8050 RPM is very low but if you are talking top speed rpm and even shift speed, you are leaving some on the table for sure

On the spacing, being perfect is best

Guys obviously IDEAL > LESS IDEAL.

I am specifically asking if anyone has experience with less than ideal spacing and what is the Polaris recommended tolerance spec for for this. Obviously you will never be able to hit it perfect.

Is it +/- .075?

Is it +/- .010?

I am trying to add some actual technical information to a topic and a forum that relies mostly on speculation.

I will run my setup this way for a ride and then move it back to as close to 10.500" as possible and record the results.

 

I am also wondering about this. The buddies 900 was way off and blowing belts but was told they fixed it later but I blow belts like crazy at the dunes. I'll go home tonight and measure mine. Is this a fixed mount or can it be adjust it?

 

Is it the same 10.5" from shaft to shaft on the 4 seater?

Yes it is

 

Thanks Todd. Taking my primary and secondary off anyway this weekend to change weights and wait for your rollers to ship for my secondary. Might as well measure it.

I am waiting for a tool from Utv to correct this on mine. My shafts are actually too far apart. I measured roughly 10 5/8. I am having some weird belt wear after installing new primary, dalton clutch kit, and new gates belt. So I am going to try and set this spacing to 10.5 as a last resort.

 

This forum is so helpful.

So many expert vendors here providing insight on how to make our rzr's better.

Todd wish you actually knew what you were talking about other than just trying to push your product with no real knowledge on how it works.

OUCH! Did I miss something?

 

what do you use for spacers?

 

I bought a tool from utv Inc. Was pretty easy once I had all bolts loosened up. You will want to follow torque sequence and specs in service manual. Mine is now set to spec, but I am waiting on new bolts to put clutches back on.

 

OSP sells one to check the spacing. They recommend, from what I understand, that if you are running a high hp machine the motor be "slightly twisted" so when under pressure the motor an tranny will be lined up. The piece that touches the primary has washers at the top, middle and lower points. The upper and middle will be the same. The bottom washers are different to allow for the flexing of high hp motors. I am sure OSP can do a better job of explaining it than I have.

 

Not to troll this thread but I just wanted to weigh in on the whole "Todd is trying to push product" thing. I just got off the phone with Todd and I can tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth. I told him that I knew nothing about clutches but thought I was having problems. Now, he could have told me I needed a new clutch and tried to sell me on something and honestly, I would have believed him and bought it. He didn't do that. He told me that he didn't want to sell me something that wasn't going to fix my issue. He wanted to find out certain symptoms and that possibly I didn't need anything. So, as you can see, he is about helping us and not "selling" us. Great customer service and you can bet that I will get whatever I need from Hunterworks. Thanks Todd!

 

99% on here say that Todd is best! So I just ignore the 1%!!!

 

I am one of the 99%.
