Clutch Alignment /Offset - Polaris TRAIL BOSS 325 2001 Manual

CLUTCH ALIGNMENT
1. Remove belt and install offset/alignment tool as shown.
2. With tool touching rear of driven clutch inner sheave, the
distance at point "A" should be 1/8s.
If the distance is greater than 1/8s or less than 1/16s, clutch
alignment must be adjusted as follows:
3. Remove drive and driven clutch. See PVT Disassembly,
pages 6.5 - 6.6.
4. Remove PVT inner cover.
5. Loosen all engine mounts. Move front of engine to the
right or left slightly until alignment is correct.
6. Tighten engine mounts and verify alignment is correct.
7. Measure belt deflection and measure offset both above
and below sheave centerlines. Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: On some models, minor adjustments can be made by
adding shims between the frame and front lower left engine
mount to increase the distance at point "A". If a shim is pres-
ent, it can be removed to decrease the distance at point "A".
