I have some massive belt slippage going on with my sled. It has an ODS kit, secondary spring in middle hole. I put 500 miles on in the past 4 days with a brand new belt. The sled was shifting decent (~7600 rpm) for the first 150 miles until I rode in some powder for about 100 miles. The sled then began to shift at 7400. Things progressively got worse with miles and got to the point where the sled would barely get 7000 rpm.
I am fairly certain it is belt slip in the primary....here are my reasons why and tell me if I am wrong. The primary was running fairly hot to the touch and the rpms were all over the place. When opeing the throttle, the revs would build quickly to anywhere from 7000 to 7500 rpm, but then always immediately back down to 7000....then climb and fall and occillate up and down which is typical of the slippage. Very unpredictable. There was some belt dust on the primary clutch and I could see some concentric rings around the primary.
Can anyone help me get this thing running good again?? bang your head I love the pull of the kit when the shifts are good. I know the ODS kit loads the motor more in theory...shifts quicker for acceleration. But is mine shifting too quick? Do I need some lighter weights? There is a massive loss of power when that sled can't acheive and hold 7500+ rpm for shift and beyond.
Some other background info (sorry this is getting long...just trying to get all the info out). I had the secondary shimmed with the 2 .060" shims and the .030" shim that comes stock. I had it shimmed with only the 2 .060" shims like ODS recommended, but when I put the new belt on, the sled squeeled like a pig and would not stop creeping. The sled still has a faint squeel to it so I didn't want to pull out the .030" shim.
Thanks in advance for you help....
