How to Stop Blowing RZR Belts 

fantastic info, I'm learning a lot about rzr, I'm going to try your belts, thanks

Great information Todd, thanks

Great set of new videos Todd! I could never figure out why i kept ripping teeth of those Gates belts. I've learned so much about my Xp from your site and channel..

You missed your calling in life and should have been a teacher. LOL. Great video and I appreciate you taking the time to show what you have learned. I didn't know what the blue washer was for and had removed mine. Going to put it back in. Cheers

I have that same impact gun and it has served for years with no problems. Milwaukee power.

Well done Todd

I appreciate the videos. Good information.

Talked to you and fixed my 2017 XP 1000 with 32s at the end of last summer. Right after I added the washer and your belt, I snapped my reverse chain. After getting the transmission back in I've done 200 miles with tons of 60+ all the way up to top speed for extended time with no issues. Totally stopped my RZR from ripping off bottom teeth and no other belt issues either.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing.

Over 2000 miles with a Gates belt and then one afternoon of near wide-open going ten miles down a road chasing rally cars to the next check point and my belt blew teeth. Now I know why. Two blue washers on order. Thank you.

I own an 2020 Arctic Cat XX and because of these videos I somehow managed to get 5,000+ miles and never blown a single belt I replace them(@1,500) out of fear but still have them all?? Today 10/10/22 I finally got/needed a brand new clutch and hope to get another 5,000+ miles wishing he had belts for my machine but anyways his "Knowledge" is the Secret to extended belt life no doubt!!!!

"Just know when to quit. " works in so many aspects of life ! 😁

Wow great content I got a 500cc scooter with the CVT transmission and we put a washer on our variator is called the fuzzy washer basically that's the same thing you but mine's not blue I like the blue washer

I’m gonna order the blue washer and a belt for a spare. I got a 2018 xp, you stated that Polaris doesn’t even have the 1 washer. So should I order 2 washers to be on the safe side? Thanks so much for the helpful videos.

Thanks for getting back is there anything I need to do to it it's for my daughter and she easy on the machine and this is our first time owning a side by side.

Can't believe you are using that impact ;) :) LOL....sorry...I had to. Really good video!

Liked & Shared On My Facebook Page. Always Appreciate You Sharing Your Knowledge Todd! Thanks!

Great job

I use a silver washer and it works even better. Going to try a magenta washer soon

Sorry to say but Gates Belts have been garbage for years.. Thanks for the clutch adjustment tips.. Blue washer going in!!

2016 xp 4 1000 getting misfired codes and they said i burnt a belt. 2016 highlifter i was with did same thing but blew belt into pieces. confirming a second blue washer on the primary with help not burn up new belts on? also great video (ironically i cant wait to get to try one of your belts, hopefully its not a blow out though)

Love your videos! Very informative,I'm going to subscribe! I have 2016 Ace 900 SP ,would it need the blue washer? Thanks

Interesting design for a cogged belt. You would think that would be more of a v belt design.

So will the blue washers fit a 2016 xp 41000 or the white ones? one more thing i bought a set of 32" Tensor Regulator tires and wanting to put them on,on my factory wheels which r 29x9x14" fronts < Rear r 29x11x14" and i havent installed aftermarket clutches it still running on stock clutches my question is will i run into problems if i use them big tires on stock clutches? And i dont do crazy stuff on my rzr or race;sometimes i jump but not rarely just regularly driving on sand and mud no rock climbing yet,and im gonna replace my square pucks to round ones what do u recommend ? thanks, love your videos Mr.Todd

I use a torque stick of 100 ft lbs on my impact and it just makes me feel better maybe wrong way to do it but like you said it’s hard to hold the primary clutch

I have a 18 general 4 I recently bought but am upgrading the clutch because of 32” tires. Are the generals common for needing the blue washer as well? Also looking to invest in the blower and temp sensor

Todd I have a 2020 Xp 1000. Do you still recommend the BlowHole fan? If so is there one that would fit mine and plug in

I was just looking at your belts and I have. 2014 1000 and do you recommend the standard or thick?

Purchased 2016 900s new only 226 miles very few hrs and is stock no riding till spring I will then change all fluids,oils etc.should I add the extra washer?I do need a spare belt will purchase yours what one would you recommend will keep Oem for spare also should I change to round rollers or the pucks I’ve heard about. I can wrench just haven’t tore a clutch apart new to the RZR nuby thank for any info

So just to be clear, my 2017 XP 1000 should have one blue washer installed already from the factory. You are suggesting adding a second to limit the range of the primary slightly?

Learning a lot from your videos i have a 2015 rzr4 eps. How often you replace the blue washer, and do I install 2? Finally experienced first blowing belt. Close to 3000 miles, had a spare always, blue washer makes a lot of sense. Any info would be appreciated 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have a 2019 highlifter razor, i know it has a thicker or bigger belt, do i need to check for 2 blue washers?

Will this blue washer trick work for 2018 Polaris sportsman 1000. It just destroyed the stock belt with 150 miles on it run 30 inch tires

You should do some stuff for can am

Will it work on a 2012 Rzr 900 xp4. I keep blowing belts. So I just added the Blow Hole Fan but haven't tried it out. Is there anything else I can do to stop busting belts ?

Will this be a good idea to add on my 2019 sportmans xp 1000 both washer and belt?

Will that washer in the Primary clutch work with a 2007 Polaris Ranger 700 6x6 EFI?

Does limiting that throw with the blue washer limit top end speed?

Will this make a difference on 570rzr or just the bigger ones

Where can I order that blue washer ? I have the stock 2017 xp 1000 , the belt blew about three times now

What is your opinion on not using the belt cover?

What couses a 2007 danger at belt to have to be at higher RPM to engage an it also jurcks when it does engage please help.

Does having the blue washer in there effect the top speed at all as it limits the primary and secondary movement?

I have a 2018 rzr 4 900 would I need to check for washer

Is this the same on a 2017 xp4 turbo. Mine did have any blue washers on it.

I just bought a 2020 rzr 900 s will this work on my new rzr ?

If I never blown a belt. Should I add the second washer?? Have stock clutching.

Is there a way to monitor the temp of that belt? Edit: In real time

Do you need one or two blue washer on this replacement

2019 turbo s rzr xp4. Can I use the Blue washer?

My transmission on my Polaris Ranger UTV is getting to hot causing my secondary clutch to blow belts and melt the buttons in the clutch

So do you recommend one or two blue washers on at the same time

hello what washer did you use? and where can i buy them?

What is the best belt can-am camander

Will your white washer help a 2020 Turbo?

WILL THE WASHER WORK ON A 2014 POLARIS RZR 570?

Is the blue washer an issue for the pro xp??

Any after market companies making a fan for belt housing?

I have an 09 700 ranger. It just bucks when you put it in gear. Quits if you keep pressing gas. Any ideas?

Does this apply to the Turbo or XP1000. Couldn't find anything on you're site. Thx

Does this pertain to 900 rangers too. ? Blue washer wize

Will this work for the can-am maverick x3?

Would this apply to RS1 as well

will this work on a 2015 RZR 1000

Whats the best belt I can I am commander one thousand nineteen model

👍

I have a 2018 xp1000. 40hrs. I put your secondary rollers on right when I bought it. I haven't been having an issue with belts. Should I still install an additional washer?(assuming I already have one currently in my primary)

would that work on a 2016 RZR Turbo

Where do you buy these blue washers?

this fix is for rzr 1000 . do I need this on my ranger 900?

Does the blue washer apply to the 2019 turbo S?

Will this work on 2012 rzr900

?, I assume this fix works for the Polaris Ranger class as well??

will it fit rzr 800s 2010

Yo have any belts for a 2018 RS1...Thanks..or Washer...

Will this work on a 2013 ranger 900 xp?

Spray foam in that building.... Glad I never went that route.

I stopped blowing belts by selling the RZR and buying a Honda Pioneer. Yes, I know....low HP, but HP is nothing when you're broken down in the bush. NO belts on a Honda to blow. Shaft driven. Why doesn't Polaris put a shaft drive in their machines? It's because Honda holds the Patent on their shaft driven system. Good video though.

How do u keep belt from slipping when going through water?

Uh huh huh, Beavis.... He said finger control!!!! Hey pull my finger!

If you need this guy to fix a machine that came from the factory as a piece of crap then you bought the wrong machine. Polaris are poorly designed. Plastic cvt cover that warps and lets water in? Wtf! Then its $2000 for a new primary lol

Having been a millwright for 35+ years … there is a reason for following torque spec’s . It drives me crazy when someone makes a comment that the know the feel of their impact tool . Sure it hasn’t happened yet … 1 year … 15 years … but it will happen, either a broken screw / bolt or worse cracked housing . Ending my subscription….. Bye 👋👋

Using an impact on something that requires 7lbs of torque is just bad advise- might have worked for you- but to tell people “finger control” is simply lazy nonsense. Pull out your torque wrench and do it correctly if your going to make RU-vid videos… just sayin…

Do you need the blue washer if u start running the hunterworks belt?

this apply to a xp turbo 2017?
