3 Belts in 3 months

2012 650 Outlander, As the title states. I have ruined 3 belts in as many months with only 300 km all said and done. I have also had to change the secondary ramp 2 times.

This has me puzzled. Everything I have seen all points towards the secondary clutch with worn bushings. There is play in the 2 sheaves. The clutch system is stock and the bike has almost 20,000 km. Have a look at the belt and ramp pictures and let me know if you think I am on the right track. I have already worked on the primary with new rollers and clutch fingers. I am going to start looking for a used secondary as a new one is over $300.00

Bigger tires??

Can you put bigger (wider) tires on the factory stock rims or do you have to upsize the rims too?

Things that go sprong.

Hi, All. It has been a while since I last posted. I have run into a snag replacing the pistons on my 2012 Ranger 800 crew. I have removed the head and jugs and sent them to the machine shop for inspection or repair. I now have to remove the cir-clips from the wrist pins and am running into a little problem. I guess I have never seen clips that are installed this way. There is nothing to grip onto for removal or installation of these clips. My best guess is to use a pointed awe and a screwdriver for removal but I will still have to install new ones when the time comes. Is there a special tool or is it just mash them in and hope they don't go sprong? (by the way the engine case is still mounted to the machine)

Cluster and Speedo not working.

I have a 2012 sportsman 500 HO. The speedometer and the cluster is not working at all. Everything else works including all headlamps. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Installed wrong carb?

Hello, new here and have found this site useful a couple times thanks for it being here.

Recently got a new carb which is an HO carb but my atv is a 98 polaris sportsman 500. Have read several other posts relating to high idle rev. Atv is running at a steady high rpm and it will rev up and go back down just fine but remain at a high idle. Going to look over the things already pointed out in other topics soon but my question is, have I purchased the wrong carb as my atV is not the HO model?
Thanks

Headlight bulbs cross reference?

It looks like both of my head light bulbs are burned out - Polaris #4030061. Does anyone know of a non-polaris brand replacement for this? $23 per bulb seems very high. My google searches found nothing. I really like to have everything working, but an LED light bar might be as cheap. Thanks..
