G4 BELT EATER! [2017 Ski Doo 850 Rev G4 clutching/belt fix?] Belt Issues

[Sharp]

Most belts brake due to secondary clutch pressure. If you don't have enough the belt will slip, heat up and come apart. Good luck everyone. Skidoo should be thanking you all for doing their R&D.

Big John do you use skidoos low elevation stuff with anything 0-3000 ft. The HIgh Elevation above that

Clicker dwg.

I believe that we'll see some aftermarket weight-adjustable flyweight arms for the pDrive this season... with position of the
weight on the arm itself variable.


This is the BRP factory method of adding weight to the arm... it only adds this to the mid flyweight position and is not changed in relation to the clutch with the movement of the clicker

.

 

[freekweet mods]

Just curious,are cams available for the driven?

 

[whitefish]

There is a wide variety of helix's available. Straight and multi angle.

 

[jsenske]

What's the profile of these adjustable weights. Is it the same as stock. Are they good for low and high elevation?

I can't tell you the exact profile, but when I spoke with ZRP on the phone he said it starting profile is about the same as stock 967 ramp and then it sounded like the profile changes to create stronger top end pull. Maybe similar profile to flyweights made for the P85.

I did however get the engine hot enough on a few pulls that the ECU started to pull power and the rpm would drop down to 7400 --7600 (only if I started the pull with 4 bars on the TEMP) it would pull here down after about 30 seconds of wide open./QUOTE]


Curious, is this with the stock muffler ?

What the heck. A motor builder who knows how to clutch a sled. What a novelty.

A little over 500 miles now and have grenaded 2 belt's and completely strung one !!!!!

 

[oldsno]

Dang no skeedoo for me,I had one of these once before. noooooo waaaaay good luck.....

 

[Devilmanak]

600 miles, two different sleds, 3 belts worn/stretched to where I cannot adjust deflection. $600. Dollar a mile. Bull****, I sold my 16 154 T3 with 1400 miles on the original belt.
I have tried MANY different setups, a lot of stuff that I can not talk about here, (not venting BS, actual solutions), been talking with DJ, some stuff helps. But in the end BRP has a problem here that they need to fix. I have bought 13 new Doos since 2013, I will not buy another one unless BRP fixes this.
