2005 polaris rmk 900 weird noise (video inside)

When you mean pinch it do you mean the belt is too far inside the clutch? Like it needs to be ridding flush not within it??? Hope that makes sence. Cause im turning my allen key and its just about all the way out and nothing is tightening..So maybe the belt is in the way...
Yes if your belt is down inside of the clutch sheaves it will pinch it and not move. Your trying to get rid of a squeal right? That means you have to adjust the allen key in to apply pressure on the sheaves like your L tool does. The sheaves need to open up and release pressure on the belt. You want your belt to be looser not tight. Adjust it until the squeal goes away.
 
Quick question: Do i leave the "L tool" in when im doing this?

Im turning away ummmmm
According to the manual you do not need the L wrench to adjust the belt deflection since the adjusting bolt works just like the L wrench, it applies pressure on the sheaves.
 
Okay, just watched your latest video. The problem you have now is that your belt is still pinched in your secondary clutch so lets start out fresh. Install your L wrench and rotate your secondary clutch as you remove the wrench to get the belt to stick out of the clutch or almost flush. You may have to start it and run it up on a block but make sure you have the wrench removed if you do this. Once you free your belt from being pinched, measure how much deflection your belt has as stated in the posts above, the one with the straight edge going from the primary to the secondary clutch. If you have less than 1 1/4", which I am guessing you will for how far out you have the adjustment bolt, you will want to turn your adjustment bolt clockwise (in) to get more deflection. Do not use the L wrench while you are adjusting this. I think that this is where your confusion may be coming from. Let me know if this works for you.
 
I am uploading a video I just made of how to do the procedure... it will be done in a few minutes and I will post it here.


The video quality is extremely poor due to low lighting and using my picture camera as a video camera, but this should give you the idea.

How did you make out? Did you finally get it adjusted. Once you do it you will realize how simple it is and will be easier next time.
