Having a problem with my pdrive. When I torque it down it squeezes the belt too far and I can’t properly set my deflection. I have to run the belt about 1/4” lower in the secondary than it’s supposed to be or the sled creeps bad. Anyone know the fix for this? Sled is a 2017 850 165X3. Dynamo Joe clutch kit.

Can you post pictures of everything?
It’s on right. I’ve pulled it several times double checking. I’ll post some pics when I get home. It’s fine until I torque it. Then it’s like the dampener is going too far into the taper and I lose belt to sheave clearance.
the belt should be sitting a little higher in the secondary.I usually try to have the valley of the ribs even with the top of the secondary.

There is a video of Jay Mentaberry Showing you the adjustment.
Right. That’s why I’ve posted this. The sled creeps even with the belt being this low in the secondary clutch.
The problem is I don’t have enough belt to sheave clearance on the pdrive.
If I set the belt deflection per the manual I can barely stop the sled with the brake.
Are you sure the primary is opening all the way?
Yeah after I did the kit
It’s open all the way till I torque it down. I’ve checked pivot bolts ect to make sure nothing is hanging up on the spider after torquing it and everything is still free
If I were you I would give DJ a call to get this sorted out, somethings outta wack, his contact info is online
This might be stupid but what belt are you running??? 531? 571??
