I have a 2000 Scrambler 500 4×4 with everything stock. The belt was slipping so much it was hardly rideable. I put a new belt with no luck and now I have replaced the primary clutch and it still has a good amount of slipping.
Is it possible I just ruined the new belt and that’s why it’s slipping now?

I did get the new belt pretty hot prior to putting the new clutch on. I was pretty far from the house when it began slipping very badly.
It does alway seem to slip around the same area of the clutch, which is about 3/4 the way up the plate.
There is 2 1/4" Deflection which seems a lot, but it tightens up nicely as I give it throttle.

When it’s in neutral, it doesn’t slip at all. Only slips under load (my body weight). I don’t weight that much. 190lbs.

The cluth alignment seems to be fine. Spacing is even on both sides of the belt.

Any ideas would be very much appriciated.
