Adjusting Secondary on Polaris Fusion 600 for Carlisle belt

[trailshredder]

Honestly...I adjusted an XLT Touring today at my shop. It was set on 1 and I had to turn it to 5 so the belt would quit squealling ( little tight on the primary). The belt was an Ultimax 3 1105. Maybe this sled is backwards??????

The main reason I'm trying this belt is because this sled goes through belts quickly and the carlisle belts have a 1 year warrantee. THe price was similar. Something isn't quite right on my fusion, but I haven't been able to figure out what. I had another dealer look at it over new years and he removed some of the shims that a different dealer installed the year before, so hopefully it's right now. I trust the dealer I took it to this year much more than the one I took it to last year.

Interestingly Polaris recommends a higher end belt for the newest IQ600s, so that might be the next belt I try.

The 1080 belt that is stock, is a soft rubber belt. Doesnt last real long on those sleds, but is the best for performance. The 1122 ($130?) is the next step up. Its a pretty good belt, you might gain a few rpms on top, and it might slow the acceleration a slight bit. The 1115 belt is the most durable belt for Polaris. It is expensive, $180?, and you will use a little bit more performance, but it really is a tough belt. You can change your primary weights and spring to compensate for the loss of performance if desired. I dont think you will lose a ton, but you can just try it and see how it goes.

The allen and jam nut is the proper way to adjust your secondary. There should be approx 1/4 inch of the belt showing above the secondary for proper adjustment.

EDIT: now that I think about it, I cant recall if its 1/4" or 1/8". Better check your owners man. to be sure.

What is this 1 turning to 5 stuff all about? The other day I was trying to take my belt off and the key wouldn't turn to open it up. I noticed the inside would turn a bit,moved the backside and the key turned it open really easy? Does the inside of the secondary move a little?

the bolt that holds the secondary on in the middle of the clutch, has a gold disk around it. on the disk is a little slot (supposed to be like an arrow sort of) and it points at numbers 1,3, and 5 and it adjusts belt deflection. It's pretty cool how it works since all the other brands are a lot more complicated.

and i'm still right, trailshredder is telling lies

Assuming you are talking about a Team secondary...

if you have PERC or RER the helix has a reverse notch and can't be opened if engaged in this notch. You to spin the rear sheave forward as far as possible to allow the clutch tool to open the clutch.

right now, i'm talking about the regular POO secondary, not the team one.

Spend $10 more and get the Polaris belt. Just mho.

Carlisle makes all of Polaris' belts.

I don't care what you are talking about because I wasn't talking to you.

where'd you get that from? might've been true years ago, but Polaris is one of the only ones left making their own belt (so my dealer says). Poo belts look nothing like carlisle either, carlisle have bigger teeth on the outside for better cooling.

now that we've established that, OK THEN!

Polaris engineers told me.

I can guarantee Polaris doesn't make their own belts any more than they make their own oil or tracks.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm planning on going riding again the end of the month. I'll try to get the belt to work with the adjustment, otherwise, I'll send it back. Thanks.

Look at your old polaris belt and at your new carlisle belt. They look NOTHING alike. The mid grade (was 3, now the carlisle pro since it was renamed) looks nothing alike also.

So what? Carlisle makes Polaris belts end of story. Lube-tech makes Polaris Oil, and Camoplast makes Polaris tracks. You need to learn a thing or two about manufacturing.

It's pretty obvious camoplast makes polaris tracks, they look the same! Polaris belts look nothing like carlisle. If carlisle made polaris belts, they'd be on the same page making the exact same looking belts.

I heard the belts for the new machines are teflon. My '07 IQ uses a different belt than my '10. They're both 600s.

This may be a fact. If so, it's very possible that they are not just putting a "stamp" on the Polaris belts but they have engineered and entirely different belt for Polaris.

The same could go for the oil.

My sincere apologies... to YOU!!! I was wrong, you were right Took er out for one lap, came back past the garage and i said, "HOLY CRAP DAD! LISTEN TO THIS SQUEAL!" Adjusted belt deflection to 5 to make the belt sit lower down in the secondary, and all was good I was wrong, you were right...
