    Great video! You helped out a lot! My 1st time. Have a 2012 750 with almost 5k, over half in the mountains and the other half on the farm. I didn't have to take any plastic off. Did loosen the plastic piece above the belt to loosen the air intake. Again thanks, you made it go fast!

    That is an area of hot topic. I have rolled belts off on the Yamaha and Suzuki models without damaging the belt. As Low Life commented, I'm sure it possible and probably some videos on youtube showing it. Using the tool in the video is a way to ensure not damaging the belt. Believe we paid less than $30 for the clutch remover tool and it can be used again. Thanks for your comment and let us know how you decided to do it.

    Jeremy, this doesn't sound right. Was this lull there prior to the belt change? If not I would start by checking that it's the correct belt. Packaging errors do happen straight out of the box. Next I would check to make sure the sheaves (or the area the belt rides on) is clean. An easy way to clean this is by putting some acetone on a rag and wiping down. If there are other symptoms please list...

    thanks for the video! I just changed the belt on my Prairie 360 4x4 using this video because the light came on and upon inspection the belt deflection was beyond the service limit. The Gates belt is a little tight and squeals when in gear/idling but I'm assuming that will go away when the belt wears some. I got the puller-bolt from MTS and the clutch popped loose like you said. Also, the torque for the clutch bolt when reassembling is 69 ft./lb., per factory spec. What I don't know is, how do I make the 'Check Belt' lamp go off? Will disconnecting the battery reset it?

    No it won't, there are other videos that show how to do that, basically you swap two of the harness connectors and turn the key on, then swap them back. Also the light comes on a lot, it doesn't always mean the belt needs to be changed, I have never changed mine in 15 years, but have reset the light a few times

Can you take the primary bolt stoping the cvt as you do whit the extractor bolt? And finally how much does the belt last? Thanks for the informattion

    All the plastic will not need removing for a belt change. This video was filmed in conjunction with a valve adjustment, that's why most plastic is off. Foot well plastic for sure, but you should get by with that only. I'm sure a little creativity will make a belt change easier in remote locations. The belt will last as long as any other CVT setup, like anything else how you treat it will determine that. Thanks for the comment and hope that answers your question.

    @everythingatv-utv-reviews3565 The video is over 8 years old, so I'm surprised that you responded at all lol. A friend tried extracting it, but no luck. The tool is 8" long, with 5" broken inside the clutch, and it's 3" deep. My ATV is currently at the shop. My mechanic said this happened because the tool was made of a weaker metal. He might have to cut off the clutch just to get it out. He might be able to save it, but he's pretty sure that I'll need to purchase a new primary clutch, which usually go for around $250 🙁
