- This is part 1 in our series, of our 2,000-mile maintenance tips and review of my 2019 RZR Turbo S Dynamix. I figured we can add to the maintenance video, by showing you the real-world wear on my RZR, and provide some tips and tricks to keep your RZR running trouble-free. I haven't really done a complete ride review, but as I'm working on it, talking about the nuances of the RZR and showing how well things have held up, will add to it and give you a good idea of what you can expect, if you are looking to buy Turbo S, or looking to take care of it.
Part 1 is useful for keeping your belts from exploding, you always hear about dreaded belt failures, but I've managed to make 2,000 miles on 33" tires and paddles, on the stock belt.
Comment below on any other tips or tricks you may have, to preserve belt life!!

Love the maintenance info and help. Hopefully more videos like this in the future
What's up nick, what a awesome rig.
Thank you for the video. Stay safe and God bless.
Nice garage floor! Good info thanks.
Very good video, thank you nick
Yeah when I get my 950 wound right up and hold it there for a little bit. I will smile belt a little bit after I stop. I'm gonna be changing my belt soon as I'm gonna be up to a thousand miles. Thank you very much for the tips. I'll be doing that to mine.
Coming from the CVT snowmobile world, we use 3M Scotch Brite pads and ‘scrub’ more at an angle, like a 45* all the way around, then 45* the other direction creating a crosshatch.
I even gently scuff the glaze off my belts, then use Acetone to wipe everything down.
I understand it’s a lot more difficult to keep on top of dirt and sand then snow, but as your video states, clean, clean, clean, and you should seldom, if ever have to replace a clutch part.
Great video 🤙I don’t have a rzr but it’s definitely good to learn something new 👍👍
You might be! Thanks man, we just share what we’ve learned so that new and future Off-roaders can have better experiences 🤘🏼
Thanks, better to service the belt and clutch in your garage than to do it in the dunes.
Hopefully you read the comments. With everything going on , you installed the primary clutch cover upside down. Hopefully it didn’t press the bushing out. Just want to see you get another 2000 miles out of it. 🤙
Clutch cover upside down? The washer on top of the spring?
@@ChupacabraOffroad Nice catch Steve! Yeah, Nick, look at the difference from 15:49 and then at 17:41
@@ChupacabraOffroad have you seen any 3 seat after market benches for the back on RZR? I have been looking online and have only seen the ones with the middle seat that is more for a child. I have 3 teens and need that 3rd seat. Thanks
@@rayespinoza429 Yes: Triple X seats here is Arizona has them, will be a tight fit with 3 teens but I also think PRP does the bench seats as well. ALl the Mormons have them... Haha
Great video thanks for the info
Thanks for watching
I take the cover off my clutch and use a garden hose and wash it really good then I use my leaf blower to dry it then let it sit outside for an hour or two before putting it back together.
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
Thank you for sharing.
Can't wait to see the Speed UTV videos! I'm waiting on my pre-order also. But my master # is in the 2,000s so I got a bit longer to go.
👌🏼
I try to keep the halves togather when I split them. Just used a paint pen to mark each half as they're balanced as a unit. "Make sure you use the proper torque specs... Uses impact. :)"
Haha you got me on that one....
@@ChupacabraOffroad lol.. just changed one of mine out in the snow. Impact always wins. ;)
People who don’t transition in from snowmobiles put the most damage on the belts. You need to full throttle for at least a half a second to get the clutch to clamp down on the belt you will hear it come together then you can back off of it. If you feather into the throttle from start you will put plenty of wear on your belt. Seen plenty of green horns on the mountain tearing up belts that way on the ski resort.
18:30 important info im just saving for myself or any others
I was gonna pick a bone with you on you bolt cover seems like its been off many times, But I see you do know how to drive and maintain a belt basically cleaning it out is number one thing for me and driving it with some caution . My machine is a 2020 XX and I have 4,180 happy miles now lol same O.E clutch second belt never a belt failure.(Alba Tune and Headers)
Any recommendations on stopping belt slap. I cant stop my belt from going into exhaust port and removing outer ribs?

Of the secondary? Interesting, didn't know that.
@@ChupacabraOffroad Look on the back of the secondary inner sheave, there are drill holes, same with the primary, drill holes on the edge to balance.
Nick you put the primary clutch tower upside down
Yeah and wrecked the bushing in the cover as well. Don’t listen to this guy.
Yep noticed that too.
Thank you, I didn't notice that. Will change it before next ride.
@@Hatch57 I made a mistake, it happens. Thanks, Fabian for letting me know. Filming while I do this sort of stuff can get me sidetracked.
You make alot of good videos and have alot of good content but just so everyone doesn't do this and get stranded I'm going to "help out" the community a bit. First-if you ever take off your secondary or primary and split them, always mark them. They are two or more parts and are balanced from the factory so they must go back they way they came apart or you will end up damaging your machine. Second-make sure you put your primary back the correct way. The rib goes to the outside. This will result in top speed limits, vibration and other issues. Third-if you can keep from it, do not rotate your clutch clockwise as it can knock out your timing. It should always be turned the way it runs under its own power. I wasn't trying to be an ass but your showing them how to blow belts,damage engine-trans parts. I'm not going to say anything negative about you or what your doing because that's just counterproductive but if your going to put out a video claiming belt life and what to do......make sure it right. I do apologize if this came out bad. I didn't mean it that way but your showing what not to do even though we know you mean well and want The best for all.
You are probably right on a lot of these points, but just some food for thought- this same car has 2,100 more miles on in with no belt or clutch issues, in the dunes, moab, and baja. Not saying your wrong (makes a lot of sense), but also, what I've done hasn't caused any issues with lots more real offroading. I'm no Polaris certified tech nor do I claim to be, but if this video gets guys to at least crack into their clutches, and maintain them, they could have 4,100 belt breakless miles, like this RZR.
I order a El jefe rg 4 doors let us known if you have an update on delivery time thanks
I don't, I think they need to do this testing with the production driveline in March, and IF (big IF) there are no issues they might be ready to go. I'd like to see the production body panels as well. IDK I don't know more than anyone else, a few of their people are still saying April, but I think late May-June is more realistic (this being optimistic).
I have a new razor pro, I took it in about 2 to 3' of water down a trail that was flooded out it was about 200 yd long of flooded trail.water got in the clutch I figured it was sealed from the factory... is this not the case I see people do it all the time do I have to actually seal it myself. I'm coming from A YXZ so I've never had a built before.
Ive seen guys fill the clutches with water, and they have the drain plug on many models, they would probably know better, maybe they try and seal them for that kind of riding, but probably not as you always need to exhaust the hot air.
Those rear crossover rings sure are high. No concerns for coil bind?
Are those custom side mirrors with the led cube mount ? Is so where can I get them ?
Yes, they are a new design we are working on, we will have them available in the next few months!
Question coming in from left field here, do you recall what size your whips are? I'm all in on the Speed UTV and their price for LED whips isn't bad but they're 5', seems kind of tall if I mount on top of the roof like your setup.
They are 5150 4' whips. I had to get a 6' to use on my race car, the 4's look cool, but if I had to do it again I'd probably get 5' length. Hope this helps.
@@ChupacabraOffroad absolutely, thx for the reply
Hey Nick, do you mark your clutches when you take then apart so that they go back the same way?
I don’t, someone else commented that, and I haven’t seen or heard that is required. Do you think it is?
@@ChupacabraOffroad I have seen other videos in which they say it is. I know those things are balanced at the factory. You can see all the little drill holes on the primary to balance them clearly at 16:00. How much a unbalanced primary wears a belt I don't know. I wish there was a definitive answer on this.
What were torques on primary clutch that you attempted to take apart but didnt
105 ft/lb
Have you ever had to replace your intercooler , and how do you if it needs replaced
No, it hasn't been an issue for me.
Do you drive with the plastic cover on at Glamis? Do you have it on at all times? Most folks I'm seeing taking them off in the sand.
Keep it on 100% of the time, it will really increase the wear of your clutches if you run with it off, but like you said, lots of people do it.
Do you recommend using the K&N air filters in the RZR? And if so, does it gain anymore power from it?
How long of wait do you have left on the ricky bobby sxs
Not sure 100%
What cage is that?
Madigan Motorsports in Murrieta, CA
Great looking shirt. Have you been working out?
#RiveriaRZRRats Rule!!!! Thanks for letting me be an honorary member of the club.
My rzr turbo s has gone 3500 miles zero issues still on stock belt
My buddy has done the same on 35's! and I'm at 2,900 with 33's. We just did 500 miles in Baja with no issues, hard to beat that.....
Stop beating the hell out of and WILL last longer!
Agree. I owned 9 RZR's and went through 1 belt, and honestly, it was my fault (ECU tune on stock clutching, over paddled, wet sand). I always scratch me head when guys say they go through 3 belts a weekend, they must like 2 foot driving, and not understand what momentum is....lol
So how do you drive a vehicle with a CVT transmission?
Don't use 2 feet (using both pedals at once) and carrying momentum through corners, to me, helps a lot with belt life. Being mindful of belt slippage (rock crawling a steep rock, or a hot day in the dunes under a load) and try and adjust your throttle accordingly. Sometimes a belt failure comes out of the blue, but there are a lot of racers, much faster than me, that push their heavy SxS's very fast without issues.
I agree with those driving habits. Also, don't stab the throttle. That's what get these belts. I blew my first one on my 2018 XP4 Turbo at 2600 miles. We do a lot of slow speed crawling in Superstition so I think that's what made it fail. Scary thing tho, it blew at 65mph on my way to the Trussel along the trail tracks. The belt didn't shred but broke and then lodged in between the secondary and the housing. It locked up the trans and I almost rolled. I had my two boys with me. Luckily I recovered and got us over to the side to change the belt. I'm pretty sure it blew because I've neglected to clean my clutches with nothing more than compressed air for the last couple desert seasons. Time for a good scuff with the kitchen sponge. Great video!
Just found your channel and watched buying used utv video. I'm wanting to get into the side by sides but don't know if I want a 4 door or 2 door wondering if you could help out with some knowledge. It's the only decision I can't decide on and it's holding me back lol
If you live in the southwest a 4 seater is 👌🏼
How about in Indiana and just had a first kid. Thats why I'm thinking 4 seater but I've seen the booster seats they make as well for the 2 seaters
@@brandonfields2377 That can work for the first few years, and the real question is how many family rides will you do when your kid is that age. Can you let the wife and kid take the RZR while you follow on a dirt bike? Those jumper seats don't look overly safe, never tried one, but I haven't driven at a good pace with my kids until he reachest 5, that's just my comfort level. I assume a 4 seater in your terrain could be really big, but I hope this helps with your decision. A RZR 900 has a short wheelbase and is really fun in its intended terrain, versus an X3 Max which is super long. You might want to consider the Yamaha Wolverine RMax 1000, it looks like a cool unit that can be sporty, and offer the jumper seats in back, so you can have your cake and eat it too.
@@ChupacabraOffroad thanks man for giving some of your time to help. Gives a lot more to think about.
Pro tip....dont put your wife's sponge back...had me cracking up..great vid tho
Haha wish my wife thought it was, she thought it was corny....
Not a great idea to rotate the primary backwards. Rumor has it you run risk of throwing off timing.
