How to inspect your Ski Doo belt and clutch
Dino’s Tinker Shed, S1-Ep 38. How to inspect your Ski Doo belt and Clutch.
In this episode, I will talk about how I inspect my drive belt and condition the drive sheaves on my 2018 Ski Doo Renegade Enduro, with the 900 ACE engine in the XS chassis.
This episode will not cover a complete tear down of the clutches but focus on cleaning the oxidation off the sheaves, how to remove and reinstall the drive belt and set the proper belt deflection on this model of snowmobile and engine. If your clutch is giving you shifting issues or not operating correctly you may require a deeper service or a rebuild to replace wear components or failed parts.
As always, I have included time code chapters so you can skip to any part you want to review.
