i just bought an new belt baecause i thought i fried my old one but this wasn't the case.... every time i get the primary to kick in it pulls the belt down but it still feel like it has good resistance when i push back on it i also put her in the air spun the track. cause i thought maybe i had something stuck or the new gear case i put in was wrong but luckly no funny noise or stiff spots in pulling the track secondary spun fine... i lsearch all over on here for help my findings were bushings or bearing b4 i start takeing stuff apart i have no clue about warning and caution faster or easier ways? thanx to all TY rocks by the way learned alot from here...

It sounds like u might have a bad spring in your secondary. Did u have the clutch apart? That is what will happen if the spring is not wraped tight enough. Could also be a worn bushing that is causing the clutch to bind. Try spraying some dry graphite lube on the moving parts, this may help to diagnose the problem but not cure it.

When u look at the helix on u'r secondary clutch u will see on the helix, holes with no. at them. The stock setting on the sx 700 is 60 degrees. The no. on the helix r 3,6,&9 use the 3. The no. on the clutch sheeve r 1,2&3 use 3 to give u a total of 6 or 60 degrees. When u disassemble the clutch becareful as it is under spring tension. Hold down on the helix and remove the bolts, slowly let up on the helix. It is under a twisting force against the ramps on the helix. U will see when u take out the spring that the holes r numbered on the clutch sheeve. When reassembling makesure to twist the helix and then push it down and line up the bolt holes. I have attached a pic to indicate where the no.'s r. U could try tightening up the secondary spring to see if that helps diagnose u'r problem, if the spring is weak. Set it on 3 on the secondary sheeve and 6 on the helix. U can see in the pic that my spring is set on 6 but that is to compensate for the after market helix and the long track.
