Belts for aftermarket primary clutches

Hey guys just a quick story. I’ve had my gen 2 qsc primary for a few months now and i put it to the test at muddy bottoms atv park 2 weekends ago. Pulling out of a hole I got in a situation where I couldn’t pull in 4wd( belt was slipping). Once I noticed I jumped off and me and a few buddies pushed me out. I was in peanut butter mud and the belt box did not get water in it. Was fine after but my low end was noticeably tamer so I’m sure the belt and sheaves were glazed over as a result. Well I’m belt shopping now and I hear some distributors say gates carbon c12 and other say the maverick belt. I’m torn between the two and want to know some real reviews on these belts. I’m actually kind of shocked that I couldn’t pull. I’ve went through worse situations with stock clutching just fine so either the oem belt I replaced was out of tolerance or my qsc iS setup wrong. All opinions welcome!! Sorry for the long post btw lol

Shut down in water, why?!?

Took my 2015 800 xmr out on saturday and got in a bit of a tight spot. The front never went deeper then the fenders but the rear dug out the sand n the rear racks were completly under water. I let off the throttle to engage 4×4 and go in reverse and she shut off. I was able to restart but it took a few seconds and giving it throttle. When i got out n back on dry land i shut her down and opened everything up. Air box, the drain tubes for the airbox and the drain for the cvt and everything was dry. Why did it shut down. I kno my suzuki used to do that when the muffler was underwater at idol, too much back preasure stalling the motor, but once i rejetted it it never did it again.. Is that wat happend here? I would think an 800cc v-twin fuel injected motor wouldnt be effected by the muffler being under water…. Anyone else have this issue. Not going to lie when she shut down my butt hole puckered up tighter then a snare drum hahaha

oil

Waiting on some parts so I’d thought I’d go ahead and ask what grade oil should I use in my outlander 800 and how much should I get? Also I noticed the previous owner filled it up REALLY High with oil, is there any reason for this? Should I do this?? Is there any risk of me doing this?????????!?!?!???:th_wtf:

motor surges off idle

I have a 2008 outlander xt. it starts & idles at 1250 +/- 100. it has a programmer/fuel optimizer, hmf pipe, sitting on 30" silverbacks. after it gets warmed up it surges off idle. if it is past 1/5 throttle it will die unless you get off throttle but it will idle all day. I checked vent lines, cleaned k/n air filter, put new fuel filter, plugs & took fuel cap off while riding, nothing helped. any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are XMR’s lifted compared to XTP’s?

I’ve been trying to figure it out for the life of me. With the two machines side by side, we can’t figure it out. Is it just springs? If so, do the XMR springs on an XTP work well for a lift? The threaded spring adjusters seem to be almost in the same position.
