Hi everyone,
New Sportsman owner here. Just got a 2005 Sportsman 700 EFI. Have taken it on a few short rides and no issues until just the other day. Just the other day I went to load it in my truck. When I went to unload it a few minutes later in Reverse it just started to roll - but I wasn't giving it any throttle. Got it out of the truck and didn't have any other issues moving it around a little bit that day.
Then today I went to go ride it up and down the street and it started doing it again but more consistent. High, Low, or Reverse it just starts rolling like I am giving it throttle but I am not touching it. I have to be on the brakes hard to stop it. Then its really hard to get it back to neutral. From my research I gather its an issue with the belt. I already have a spare. Idle is around 1150.
Trying to pull the current belt cover off, but the gasket material feels like super glue and its not budging. Any tips?
Anything else to look for?
