13. CVT SYSTEM
CVT System
On this ATV, the approximate gear ratio difference between high
and low range is 1:2.05.This difference in gearing affects the
operation of the CVT, especially at speeds less than 7 MPH, due
to the system
’s dependence on engine speed.
By switching to low range while operating at low ground speeds,
the air temperature in the clutch will be reduced. Reducing the
temperature inside the clutch cover extends the life of the CVT
components (belt, cover, etc.).
Adjust the center distance of the CVT:
1. Remove crankcase filter cover, cover protector and crankcase
cover.
2. Loosen the left link bolts , right link bolts and engine
mounting bolts .
3. Adjust the supporting bolt and measure the size L,D;
4. Tighten the engine mounting bolts , right link bolts and left
link bolts ;
5. Install crankcase filter cover, cover protector and crankcase
cover.
NOTE:
1. Never operate the engine when adjusting the CVT;
2. The adjustment of the CVT must be done by your dealer.
