So the solution to avoiding ruining your transmission when just driving your UTV is to get a Honda Talon or Yamaha YXZ. Who'd have thought these things were built so poorly that you can't even simply just drive it at a constant speed?

Every time you turn around there’s something else that destroys these things, I finally washed my hands of sxs all together. Bought a damn Jeep, something I can drive to the trail,stay warm in and drive home. I’m done with sxs. Constantly breaking.

So with all this being said I'm curious I cam across an article somewhere saying if your at a constant speed under 30mph it is best to stay in low gear is that true ?

I have flex posted before but the HW belt is pure gold...I got 7000 KM's on my first one with a OEM clutch. I am very soft on the throttle and always vary speeds and rarely max out. I am a old fuddy duddy out there but the way I look at it, I am there to be there and not in a hurry to be somewhere else.

Next time I can’t sleep , I’ll just listen to your silky smooth monologues about clutches 😂

This is why I'll keep off roading my old Ford Ranger. Much cheaper, AC, heat, enclosed AND I can drive it anywhere I want.

If youre referring to the photos I sent after the swap, I didnt do that. It was the previous owner. Lol😂 The new clutches are awesome, takes off with good power and smooth. Very happy with the set up. Thabk you for your time in answering all my questions. Sincerely, Scott

I’m not doubting what you say but why don’t other vehicles like Canam Ryker and millions of scooters (which all do sustained constant speeds on roads) suffer from the same issue?

I noticed this also on my General XP. Its not technically "road legal" but if you're not acting a fool, the cops don't usually mess with you, but after having gone across the county a couple times it always like to throw either a belt code or a O2 code. So after its done it twice now we just trailer it to and from.

Thats all we do is road ride. No trails, have to trailer them hours away for trail ridding. We all have them plated and ride 80 to 100 miles on road every time we go ridding. Just don't go much over 40 or 45. 2023 rzr xp1000. Just couldn't buy Honda, they need major update on all there SXS Dash and interior are to dated. Bought it mainly for campground use and ridding around town. Already have it in back my mind new clutch every couple years.

The only belt drive toys I own are snowmobiles, cooling of the clutches is an issue even in the winter, they get hot. Usually ride off trail in the mountains in Montana. Trail riding the flat lands may be less of an issue, I don't know. I like my Honda 500 atv with a transmission.

Thank you for posting this, very helpful information.

Thanks for sharing this info. Most companies would not tell everyone so they can sell more clutches and belts. That is why I have been putting your products on my RZR 1000. Hunterworks kicks ass!!

Good information! I had my clutch rebuilt at 6000 miles on my KRX.

I ride my general 1000 on the road pretty frequently. Used to ride a Honda trx450r all over the place on the road. What I’ve always done is constantly vary the rpm’s and load. Don’t hold it steady like a car or a Harley. It’s a sxs it doesn’t have gears BUT you can still ride em on the road just be in and out of the throttle constantly and don’t hold it at the same rpm. Haven’t had a problem yet with general or race bike

Appreciate hearing your knowledge from experience!👍

Thanks for that info!

So true, well said. Couldn't agree more!

Thanks for the info as I wasn't aware.

I’m a novice and I really appreciate this advice. Thanks man 2023 Polaris RZR trail s 1000 300km so this will help.
