It is possible to set the rollers in helix in the wrong position . Personally I would open it up and reinstall the helix.

When taking apart and reassembling the Pdrive you need to make sure the weight tip are resting in their slots around the spring. As well as the sheeve rollers in the proper slots.
You may have done do, just thought I’d mention, in case not.

Yep that’s what I was getting to. Something is wrong on the reassembly of the p -drive.

Yeah they move freely. I double checked them. Anyone know the belt to sheave clearance? I can’t find it anywhere.

I looked at the belt don’t remember the number off hand. I know it’s not the 531 I thought about picking up a 531 and trying it.

Belt is the 391
So if it was right and then you changed something, like a clutch kit, and then it was wrong, then it is pretty obvious that something was assembled incorrectly?

.015" or 15 thousandths of an inch for belt to sheave clearance.
To sound cool, say 15 thou.
Have you been able to ride it since the belt deflect debacle?

The dealer has reassembled it. Nothing has changed. Still the same issue.
Did you take secondary apart also?
Maybe your secondary shaft is not seated in the retainer properly.

Yeah I’ve been riding it. Kit works great. Killer engine braking.

Update... I picked up a new damper/cushion drive. Measured the taper on mine vs the new one. The new one was a bigger taper. Put it on and problem solved. The screwed up taper was going too far in the fixed sheave and taking away all belt to sheave clearance.

Glad to hear you got it fixed! Also, Thanks for posting your solution. I hate when people present a problem and never post the solution or outcome.

I have this exact problem. Sled has 225 miles on it. Changed out spring in primary and put back on and I have no belt clearance when it’s torqued to spec 89 ft lbs
I ordered a new cushion. As dealer had never experienced this yet- they want to see clutch when I come pick up part maybe warranty. Lol
but I see even DJ has now on his sled experience this so ...

Broken, improperly installed, or defective secondary spring?
