    I've got a 2021 trail as well, make sure you drain the belt box after riding in mud, water or what not, I have 21 hrs on mine and my belt has slipped a couple of times now from water being in the box, I'm going to check everything out at 25 when I do the first full service, great channel

    I have a 2019 570 SP. The clutches and belt housing are totally different....No trouble with water entering the belt area. I only trail ride too, lot's of dust but no evidence of water. I once had a surprise high water moment and no water entered. Glad I got the 2019..Other issues, but not the belt housing (although their is a seal behind the primary that sometimes has issues).

    I am so tempted to purchase a 450/570 Polaris because I can get one for much less than a Yamaha product, but I'm not sure I have enough time to correct all the mistakes Polaris makes on these machines.
    Not sure why Polaris exhausts the 570 different than the 450 HO's, either...seems odd.
    Certainly does look like you've ingested debris from the actual intake, but I wonder if you need to reseal the inner clutch cover with RTV like some other guys have mentioned doing on the Polaris forums..

    With that much in your intake, would lead me to believe you either swamped your quad or damn near swamped it. Be honest bro. I have the same quad and know where the intake is located. In order to get that much in there, you def swamped it.

    • @JimboP-Outside
      @JimboP-Outside  2 роки тому

      No, I did not swamp it. This is not what I bought the machine for. I trail ride and every trail has big puddles, totally unavoidable. If you do in fact have this machine then pull the side panels. You’ll see a clear and obvious path from the spinning rear tire right to the intake which faces backwards (faces the rear tire). The mud/water is unobstructed from the rear tire right to the intake. Watch my ride at Demon Run Trails, it’s my first video. You’ll see my riding style.

    • @JimboP-Outside
      @JimboP-Outside  Рік тому

      There’s a gasket, it looks like a decent seal. The issue seems to be water coming in the belt box exhaust which Polaris put right over the rear wheel. Also the intake for the belt box is low in front and faces rearward, which at first seems right, but the spinning back wheels push the water forwards behind the plastic panels. Hope they fixed this. Otherwise I do enjoy it, especially long rides on the trails. Good luck with yours, enjoy! 👍

    How much riding did you prior to adding the extension to the outlet side? Could it have entered before you changed it? Looking up the intake side, after the opening it looks kinda clean up in there. Not sure if just couldn’t see further. Just thinking you may have fixed the problem with the outlet and all this happened before it was changed.

    • @JimboP-Outside

      Typical knee-jerk response. I have said over and over in my videos that I have zero interest in mudding, it ain’t my thing. I trail ride, that’s what I bought this machine for. If you’ve ever ridden trails you know very well that every trail has water on it, sometimes a puddle large enough to cover the width of the trail. So you ride through it. The very point of this video was to illustrate how much water and mud get in the belt box when you’re merely trail riding and NOT submarining.
