Another gem from last summer

This guy was crusing through town the other week.

Buddy that works at the brp dealer tells me that stock for stock, the 850 and 900t are even. Small little tweaks and the 900t walks the 850. Also two more burnt down 850 came in last week.

I wish she wasn't such a shit head. Seems to have gotten worse with the new dog. Ran out of the yard on me today. Only went a couple of doors down. Of course the puppy was right behind her. Wouldn't let me get close. Fucked off back to our yard when I did get close. Has gotten extremely nervous. I am wondering if it is because when we scold the puppy she thinks we mean her as well. Doesn't/won't sit with us anymore. Always in a back room or something. She starts to shake when she gets really nervous. Which is usually caused by trying to have her close to where we are sitting lol. Listens like a brick wall. Or she will start to do what you say, gets half way through and says fuck that, and goes back to where ever she was hiding. The puppy isn't nervous but always wants to be close to her. So we don't see much of him unless we block off sections of the house to keep him near us. He listens a little better than the other one but not much. When it is just you and the puppy outside, he has mediocre recall. When it is the older dog or both of them, recall doesn't exist. She is always scared and runs away and he follows. Very aggravating lol.

Surveying the yard

https://www.buzzfeed.com/ikrd/optical-illusion-tells-you-how-stressed-you-are-fake

2008 Polaris 700 Dragon Switchback. Stretched to a 144" with 2" paddles running a 21t top gear and a 40t bottom.

Well it looks like I am heading into the primary. It made a difference but did not solve the problem. It now seems to dangle the skis a little bit when it has good traction. I made a bunch of passes on a lake that had around 3 inches of fresh on hard pack. I was getting 65 mph consistently. One time when I used path I already went on, I hit 70 mph. Before the secondary service, my max mph on the gauge was 61 mph no matter what I did. Belt defection is good and still hitting 8100 rpm

Well I have the clutch back together. I know it is pretty hard to fuck up but I am sweating a little lol. So I have 3 used delrin washers and reused the torx on the Helix. I put blue loctite on all the screws and tighten them as much as I dare before I stripped them. They are $11 per screw and the dealers only have "1" in stock. Epi sells a kit with rollers, roller washers, roller c clips, and those torx screws for the same price as the dealer wants for just the rollers. I think I may buy that when doing fall prep for next season along with 3 new delrin washers. Thank you everyone for your assistance. I know this probably didn't fit in the "not beginners lessons" but it was extremely nice and helpful to be able to ask people questions that knew what they were talking about. I am working today, hopefully only a half day. When I am done I am going to throw this on the sled and see how she does. Will report back after that. Thank you!

Thank you! I spotted the blind spline (I think it is called?). I picked up the "new" delrin washers. They are not new. Probably the ones I have just out of another clutch they did. They were $8 so I bought them anyways.

Thank you. I just popped the rollers off and made sure the was no gunk on the shafts and inside the rollers. Put them back on dry.

Shaft and bushings polished with type A very fine Scotch Brite. Everything all cleaned up. Do I lubricate the shaft the rollers sit on?

It is all good. I won't have the washers till tonight. It won't be going back together until tomorrow

?

There will be two new washers and one used. Where do I put the third one? Also it looks like by belt defection screw is doing some damage to the washer and sheave. Is that normal?

Thank you lol. I am a 4th year millwright so I would be embarrassed to take it to a shop. I am a little gun shy as I don't like breaking shit. Especially when it is on my dime lmao.

Well the delrin washers are not a dealer item. I found a local small shop that had 2 loose ones. So I am going to take the better one of the two that came out of my clutch and use it with the two new ones. I used some spray 9 and a brush. Maybe I will hit it with some brake clean to make sure there is no residue.

It is the get rid of this crap

Ok. Is there any solvents I should stay away from the get rid of the belt material all over the sheaves?

Is the delrin washer kit a Polaris item?

What do I clean everything with?

I have it apart the rest of the way.

Ya the debris looked like coating flake. To me from the rollers. I have since blown all the crap out of there. I work at a metal fabrication shop. I will see if there is any scrap lying around I can make a clutch pressure out of today.

The spring looks new. I don't see any paint chipping. Still a lot of pressure on the spring. Helix is stock if that is was you mean by the angles. Have not pulled the primary apart. The engine rpms are on point so I started with the secondary.
