So I have an 07 outty max XT – 650. I have owned it for a week and so all this is new to me. I noticed when I would go to take off or go at a slow speed the quad would jerk / belt slip. Once you got the rpm up or would go faster it would stop. So I thought great! – I ordered a new belt and attempted to take the cover off. Well the cover had two stripped screws in it from the previous owner. Needless to say I had to cut the belt cover off with a saw. The clutches and everything were covered in mud. So I ordered a new cover (obviously) and back cover and seals. I hosed off the primary and secondary and visually inspected them and they look clean. I out the new belt on and it still does the same exact thing. Like nothing has changed. It does do its normally clutch tapping and it also gives me a squeak when the bike is shut off. The reason I bought the belt is because I tried getting the quad on the back of my truck one day and it smoked the belt attempting to climb the ramps. Im not sure if it is a combination of the crap that was in the case or this is just the way it is. I have read other forums that say that the Jerking is normal…(clutch engaging/Disengaging) I have run it with the cover off and I can actually watch the belt slip at slow take off (creep). Again I don’t know if it is engaging/ disengaging ect. Im taking it to the dealer to have them put on the back plate as I don’t feel comfortable taking off the primary and secondary. Also the new cover I purchased is different from the old one(came from the dealer). Has more bolt holes and has a little vent tube in the lower corner. My concern is getting water or mud throught this vent. I have heard that people have run a small tube to the bottom of the seat. Again thanks for letting me beat your ear off and helping me understand this machine.

G1 to G2 Shocks Fitment
Hi,
I wonder if anyone has done this,
I have a 2014 G2 outlander 500 , here in the uk our DPS model comes with basic none adjustable shocks,
I have had the offer of a set of KYB shocks/springs from a G1 800 XXC
These would be a improvement over my standard shocks,
My front shocks measure 470mm from eye to eye unloaded, and the rears are 500mm,
I wonder if anyone has done this,

Does any know what the G1 XXC measure, or more to the fact, will they fit my G2,
Many thanks:thumbsmilie:

Valve cover leaking?
One of my valve cover’s started leaking a few years ago, used some sealant on the outside of it and actually stopped the leak. It seems to have started leaking again but it really isn’t much at all not even enough to drip on the ground. Is there any real point in trying to fix this? I had a valve cover on my car leak for years and wasn’t even really enough to notice whenever I checked my oil. It’s not leaking on to any exhaust so I don’t have any burning.
I have an 06 800 base model.
