    I have a new squealing issue that appears to occur when the alternator is under load (all lights on) and the engine is revved up such as when driving. There is no noticeable squeal at idle or when revved up under no alternator load (all lights off). My suspicion is that the belt is slipping or...

    I recently bought a 2003 Prairie 650. She has never been abused, as a matter of fact she had less than 150 hrs and 300 miles when I got her not even a scratch on the plastic. Rebuilt the carbs, changed the oil and filter, clean the fuel tank out and replaced the fuel pump. She rips pretty...

    I just put a new belt in my 2005 BF 750. I did the upgrade to a Teryx belt and it fits fine. Here's the question. OK, I've heard about breaking in new machines. 10 hours of various throttle and speed but not wide open. But is that for the belt or the engine or everything? What do you guys...

    I drove my brute force 650 sra through some deep mud holes and after the last one I heard a lot of noise coming from the belt area. I thought it was the belt shredding apart but after I took off the drive belt cover, everything looked fine. However, a horrible noise is still coming from that...

    I just bought a 2003 prairie 650 4x4 that has 1300 miles on It. It is in decent shape, so far as I can tell it runs great, except for one thing. Whenever you take off from a complete stop, in high, low or reverse, the belt makes a squeaking noise. If You are moving even a little and accelerate...

    If i put 28" Vampire EDL's on my 08 brute with factory clutch springs and drive it easy just for hunting will i have any problems with my belt? I had someone tell me that EDL's are not for brutes because they are belt burners. Does anyone have EDL's on their brute? Any info will be appreciated.
