when you first punch it slips iff you keep it there it start to go and iff you drive at 6500 t0 7000 it stops slipping

iam confused is it over reving when you hit it what exactly is it doing on tach from 5 mph to 100 mph not sure how you know its slipping maybe iam having a brain fart

the secondary is set at 3-3 as soon as you punch the gas it slips it not goin no were just slipping but iff i drive along at say 7000-7500 the belt will grab it rev really high while driving due to belt slip i would imagin it never did this till i put a newer belt on.

so if you are going five mph and jam it wide open and hold it its over reving then coming back down i dont mean to be dum but iam not understanding what your saying.when you are going slow and hit it wide open and hold it what is the tach doing.i have my2005 rx1 when you hit it it starts at 10200 rpm anfd at 100 mph its pulling. 10400 rpm from what your saying when you hit it going slow and hold it its reving over 8500 then dropping back to 8000 rpm
sounds like sutton binding how does the bushing in the helix look? buttons?

i havent checked the helix or buttons yet but when you drive and punch it the belt is slippin but iff you keep going steady throttle and keep easing it to it its fine but iff you punch it it just sits and slips as iff a burnt clutch in a dirt bike just slippin at like 1/4 to 1/2 throttle im at like 6500 to 7000 rpms wich is high its as iff there is grease on the belt but everything is super clean the belt is good and the clutches are clean and lighly sanded.

well guys ive went throught all the clutches everything is fine so i come to a possible conclusion that the motor is out of line wich means my primary is out of line causing the new belt to be to tight and slipping it was fine with the old belt due to being so streched.

you can adjust your secondary by removing or adding washers to the 3 bolts behind it.This will keep belt at right height.But id centre to centre is off..it will change things also.With the belt installed,you should be able to push the belt down about 1.25" between the 2 clutch's.
just an idea but maybe try some more weight in the heel for more clamping force on the belt, if not you something binding someplace in the driveline

Wrong belt. Used ones were used.....

Are you sure u have lots of side preasure in the secondary, Having the belt too tite will make it grab more not slip, and it would surly heat up when running wot, and blow belt if it was misaligned. It really sounds like your secondary is not grabing, maybe spring or not enuff twist in it. unless i missed somthin here!
