Any clutching changes on 2018 skidoo?

[LennyR]

Gear it up , make it use the whole clutch, make it not slip, it's not a friggen diesel.

Your temp is not what others are experiencing. The Internet makes a big deal out of nothing. You are riding wrong. Poor throttle control. You don't let your clutches cool down. Some dealers haven't had any of their sold machines experience clutch heat. I know, since there is only a few of you that are having issues, we will make the clutch into a fan so it blows the heat straight into the big pile of snow that gathers in front of your foot on the game changing running boards and won't allow the new fan clutch to blow any air out whatsoever.
As a favor to you though, we will get China to make us a new heavy duty belt that may or may not withstand the belt temps. On the bright side, we will charge you more for the belt as if $205 plus tax isn't enough already. We, as a corporation, thought it would be a good idea to leave the reason for clutch heat alone. Band aid solutions is what our shareholders like. BTW, we are having a price increase this year.

they released the P drive last year. The clutching is spot on for 2017 what did you want changed exactly

2017 clutching is horrible. Belt life is low guys riding hard in steep and deep are seeing 250-500 km. Some guys up to almost 20 belts now. Back shift is horrible on stock clutching. Heat in the belt and seconday is 30-40 degrees higher then skidoo says max can be. Out of the box at 6000-7000 feet guys were over reving like crazy (i know that's calibration) Belt deflection has to be adjusted every day i check my XM or Axys when oiling and afjust every 3 or 4 days the 850's need adjustment almost evey day

Rene pointed the heat gun at his boots this week just from riding up the trail was a 30 or 40 degree difference in his boots lol

umm , if your belt is not moving up and down in the secondary the only thing that is shifting is the primary , kind of like locking your transfer case in low range . major cause of skidoo belt issues is primary outshifting secondary these are the belts that are completely grenaded . kind of wish this fellow rode a different brand than me , then i could say stupid f'''''g"" you fill in the blanks rider"" doesnt know anything about skidoo tuning ...

 

[powpowpowpow]

bullcrap deflection is adjusted everyday..almost 1000 miles and belt is fine. good lord there are alot of babies on here

Thanks for calling him out cause I have yet to see one with the panels open in 40 days of riding.

Well this solves it. No side panels seen open in 40(30 were socked in) days=no problems. Close the thread. Nuttin' to see here. Move along.

The only thing getting burned is Polaris Industries......however I don't think it's the Gen 4 clutches or belts.....Probably all the RZR fire recalls.....Let's roast some marshmallows and crack open a fresh Doo-Laid

your killing me. those big mountains of fort Murray must be steeper and deeper than the ones out west here because thats not the case at all in these parts. by your math someone has 10,000km on a G4 already to use 20 belts. how stupid do you have to be to not drop that thing off at your dealer and say WTF after i duno....maybe the second one??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You want to use all the clutch face if for no other reason (and there are other reasons) to dissipate heat.

Also, just because the sled reaches and holds rpm, doesn't mean the clutch is working well at all-the belt may be slipping.

if its slipping you are going to see rpm fluctuations

No need for a muffpot with those clutch temps. Ride 850 wfo for 5 min set food on belt. Cook for 5, flip cook for 5 more min. wait for food to cool and enjoy your nice warm meal. Idk why guys are complaining so much do just saved u 50 bucks

its funny that you think that's funny. Your telling me the belt is going to slip in a linear fashion throughout the rom range? Hahahahahahahaha

Wipe the snot off your nose, pull up your pants, and try to pretend for a bit you have achieved some maturity so far. Try !!!!

Not necessarily, maybe constant rpm and track speed fluctuations.
