i have not taken my primary clutch apart...but my best assumption would be that the primary clutch spring is worn causing the belt torun high on the clutches and wear out.... here is a link to all the parts for your clutch...CheapCycleParts.com's 1998 Polaris ATV XPLORER 400 (W98CC38C) Parts List

lol no problem...it would be an orange or silver nob with a groove in it that allows you to use a flat head on it...it is on the right side of the motor behind the pull start...it wont solve the problem your having but it is something you should check from time to time on a 400L two stroke motor.. So not to change the thread topic completely did you decide what to do with you clutches?

instead of buying a whole new primary clutch why dont you just buy a new spring and rollers. That should fix the belt slippage problem, and possibly give you more power as well...btw not towards the topic question but have you checked the counterbalancer oil?

yea man im just praying the rebuild kit im buying is all i need....if i need to replace the counterbalancer. or any other expensive part im screwed...

bummer sorry it didnt work out

welcome to quadcrazy....first thing you will need is to find the serial number, either on the frame or on the engine which would tell you the type of model it is. Second, i recommend getting a shop manual for it, it will help you a lot with big and small problems. Finally for parts i get parts from cheapcycleparts.com and bikebandit.com **moved thread**

what year is it?

yea tell me about it...now i have to figure out how else to plow our driveway

well got some bad news....brought the polaris to the dealer. they looked at it, drained the counterbalancer oil and saw it was milky, turns out the pump for the water cooler leaked into the counterbalancer unit and did something to it, he said the engine would need to be taken apart 200 dollars, and then buy 700 dollars worth of parts, and thennnnn put it back together for another 200, sooo my uncle and i are taking it apart ourselves and if there diagnosis is correct we are either rebuilding ourselves or putting a bigger motor in it....so the project is going to be delayed for another couple months

Did you just mod the dry end of the clutch or the wet end also? I modded it a little while back..

ahaha my fault that would make a lot of sense....

welcome to the forums...nice looking atv. i like the itp style rims...and the blackwater tires...looks like a good runner

whoa wen did this happen??? what happened to the suzuki??

what kinda of clutch kit are you looking at??...i got an epi purple secondary and orage primarys big difference on the low end side..

Sorry bro no ho** cant fix a comment like that lmfao

SOHC stands for Single Overhead Camshaft. That means that there is only one camshaft per header. Inline engines will contain one camshaft. V-type and/or flat will contain 2 camshafts. For a SOHC engine there are usually 2 valves per cylinder but there can be more with the addition of cams for each valve. DOHC stands for Double Overhead Camshaft. Now there are 2 camshafts per header. So in an inline there are 2 camshafts because there is only one header, but there is 4 in a V-type or flat engine. These DOHC engines usually have 4 valves. One camshaft for the exhaust valves and the other for the intake valves. Advantages to having a DOHC engine over a SOHC is that the engine has twice as many intake and exhaust valves as a SOHC motor. This makes the engine run cooler and more smoothly, quietly, and efficiently. But the downfall is that DOHC engines cost more for repairs. More info on SOHC Engines Vs. DOHC Engines

I love when things are painted

just to add another link http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/ATV.aspx?s_kwcid=TC|8710|cheap%20cycle%20parts||S||4436108787&gclid=CO_06Mvo2J0CFdBB5god5SJ1rQ. just checked they have everything oem for your atv this site is great. this is were i got all my parts from for my 94 polaris project. Great people. very quick for responding to your emails and answering all the questions u need answered.

haha i like that...in my old town we used to play everyday until i moved...i was the goalie for my team i got all my bros hand-me-down ice hockey equipment. SUCH A GREAT SPORT

welcome to the site shadow....u will fit in just fine 2 wheels 3 or 4 dont matter what you have

great to hear you started a project thread cant wait to see it finished.

ouch goalie stick right to the leg painful..great video u defiantly go after the puck ahah...big ranger fan over here

highlifter makes the 2 inch lift kits eh idk i think its a bit to much for stock axles really wears the boots down..and puts a sharp angle on the axles For your polaris the lift kit will only lift the back. I think the kit comes with spring spacers for the front because they dont sell lifts for the mcpherson strut. I have the moose industries lift kit on my atv. Very simple design very strong and incredibly easy to install and is much cheaper. But its a 1 or 1.5 inch lift instead of 2 inch lift

aww u got to put it in the project room...everyone would love to check it out..just keep us updated with pics from beginning, to tear down, to end...kinda like my project in that forum if you want to use it as an example

congrats on the new atv....make sure to post pictures of this finished i would like to see it !!
