I have not shredded a belt yet.:ride: I have over 500 miles on it and the machine has performed flawlessly blowing away all my friends with other machines. I just dropped a turd(believe it to be the VOLTAGE REGULATOR) out on the trail. I volt metered it appropriately and its either VR or STATOR. They are working on it now with its 50 hour service I am paying for. SHOULD I ASK THEM FOR THE NEW CLUTCH KIT UPGRADE OR STICK WITH WHAT I HAVE ON THE MACHINE? I bought the machine in LATE September 2014. I have never opened up the cover to look and see whats going on. I have snorkeled it but the work was done by a buddy it was hard to install needed special tools which I have none of. I have basic knowledge of how these things work but I am learning. I have opened up the little plug in the clutch housing and never had water come out I have had a minute amount of condensation none enough to produce a drip though. I need opinions from the bst mechanical minds on this forum. Please don’t assume I know what you are talking about I probably do not. Again very basic DIY guy I usually cant do it myself. THANKS :question:
