Hi guys
I have a sportsman 500 2007, the other day I was on a hill and took off and there was a bang, took off, no apparent problem, 1km later belt seems to be slipping in high range, put in low range to get home, assumed belt slipping put new belt on seem okay for a couple of minutes then slipped again.
Pulled the secondary clutch apart, there did not seem to be any pretension on ramp, the three nylon button things worn out and the ramp lobes a little worn, see photos, are they too worn/ damaged can I tig weld them back in shape?
The bang noise - could that have been the ramp lobe actually riding right up over the nylon buttons - rotating 120 degrees, therefore no tension???
what are your thoughts. bike has 14500km.
