Belt guard

[joshkoltes]

Had the belt guard off. What a brick!
I read a while back that messing with them disrupts the engineered air flow but man is that thing a two ton tammy

I found getting the belt side panel on is tough after you install a new belt. The belt remains expanded too far out, disallowing the guard to go over it. Had to lift the track and engage the clutch, which made it then simple to slide on.

It has to be beefy since it's now the outside panel itself and not behind an outside panel. That's how Doo narrowed the sled so much.

Do you mean the secondary clutch was too far out? If so, you should have been able to lift the track on a stand and just turn the secondary by hand to adjust the belt.

I did that, no issues, and the clutch panel went right back on.

I'm more wondering if I can remove some of the padding or plastic that's jammed up inside that panel

That is not where I'd be looking to lose weight off the sled.

Nothing wrong with the clutch side panel, IMO it’s the same weight as the old panel, WITH the clutch guard of the G4 added to the mass of the old side panel.
Best fit and finish sled doo made yet IMO.
I find it funny when guys complain about how heavy parts are. Oh my factory muffler is too heavy.

Do both

Take both side panels off. Let us know how it turns out.

Lighten it up like the first XP - how did that work? Don't hit a pinecone!

My first xp couldn't keep a belt on it, my second was flawless after messing with it
