I have a 2021 Polaris 570. I love it. However, water is an issue. I'm not sure if it's the clutch, or the belt. Whenever, I go through water that is footboard deep belt/clutch starts slipping. I push the throttle and I go no where fast. Bought it brand new, the unit only has 185 miles on it. I took it back to a dealer. The first time it happened they replaced the belt (at a cost of a couple hundred $$). About a month later, we went through trails that had water and I experienced the same thing. I took it back to the dealer, they indicated that water was getting into the clutch housing. What should I do?

Sounds to me like you are getting water in your belt housing. Need to determine if your cover is leaking, inner cover seal, or if it’s splashing in through the exhaust duct. There’s lots of info about how to reroute the exhaust duct to prevent water from going in. As FPD said, do a search and read til your hearts content.
