P/N 2413431 I have one on back order but won't be available for a month. I can cancel my order if I can find one.

This is my first belt driven atv. How do you know when it time to change the belt. Mine seems to be a little sluggish now. Engine is fine, it’s more acceleration that I’m missing I think.

Atv sat up for a while, went to take it out for a ride and it wouldn’t move. When I put it into get I noticed the drive shafts spin (front and back) but wouldn’t even budge. Got a buddy to push it while in gear and heard some clinking. Hoping some one can help with my problem. Really not wanting to go to the dealer and spend a arm and a leg.
Thanks!

Hello, I'm the new owner of a 15 Outlander 800 XT-P. An avid Ski-Doo snowmobiler during the winter months and needed to have some fun during the other 3 seasons... I'm looking forward to do some trail riding in Northeast PA and Upstate NY.

My name Mike, just purchased a 2018 Sportsman 1000 XP, it's quite a jump from my last ride, a 2004.5 Sportsman 500.

Question for those of you who ride hard and like to send it!! Do you ride with your Fox shocks stiff? I have mine slightly stiffer than factory settings. Might go a little stiffer. I’m a heavy guy at 240lbs. Where do you guys have your rebound set?

So it came downto Reapers, bighorn originals or the HTRs, I went with the HTRs because for the money 381.00 shipped was hard to pass up. Went with stock size and they are true, looks like 28s will actually fit but didnt want to chance it.
So far with so hard riding in my 7 acre pasture, the handling, smooth ride and confidence these tires provide is outstanding! Will provide more details after a trip to the trails.. BTW I did have them balanced when mounted, got it up to 60mph On my side road and they are smooth as butter..

I'm in the market for a side by side & narrowed it down to the 50 inch Maverick Trail and Polaris 50 inch 900. I really want the Maverick Trail but the seats are too low. Are their any aftermarket seats for the Maverick Trail to raise the seat height?
Thanks,
Crockett

Been wondering about this, and it's probably been answered somewhere around here....but i've been researching and am considering purchasing the lower front and rear control arms from a 2016 highlifter 850 (this particular year and model since they're black to match my current arms)

I have a 2015 sportsman xp 1000, and from what I can tell, all other part numbers are the same as far as upper control arms and other suspension parts. From looking at the diagrams as well as looking at machines locally, it seems like it should be a direct swap and everything should match up, including sway bars

anyone already done this, or know of someone who has done it successfully? ready to pull the trigger on this!

Maybe I spoke too soon on buying cheaper parts off Ebay....

So I finally got around to replacing the CVT belt on my Xplorer 300 today.

The new belt pulls my quad just fine except for one problem. I can't get the cover back on! I went on a test run before putting the cover back on. Not something I would recommend unless you are really careful..

Here's some photos of both the old and new belt. These are direct links to my Google Drive so you can zoom in to get a better view:

If for some reason these links don't load, here is the direct link to my Polaris folder, I've named the photos old and new belt:

As you can see the V shaped teeth are worn down a bit on the old belt and the outside of the belt is flush with the rear pulley.

I'm not sure how much life this belt has on it but there is a small chunk tore out of the side of it which looks like an trail failure waiting to happen. But might be worth keeping as a spare in case I or some other Polaris owner on this same trail needs a CVT belt.

I *think* the problem is because the new belt is thicker, it's causing it to ride higher on the rear pulley, so it's causing a clearance between the pulley and the cover.

Anybody ran into an issue like this?

If I loosen the bolt on the rear pulley (sorry can't recall it's proper name) will this expand the two halves and allow the belt to lay down within the pulley better?
