PACK A PUNCH Nice tip! when the belts are made, they are made in a mold, which has to be sprayed with a silicone type mold release. So, yes, washing the belt does help it bite better and last a little longer since it’s not slipping so much at the beginning.
Pro tip: When cutting tubing, plastic, pvc & metal, place a metal band clamp around the tube and you can use that as a cutting guide to insure a nice, straight clean cut.
Your videos help motivate me to get after my 2014 1000r. Respect how thorough and detail oriented your work is. Top notch. Thank you for an informative and enjoyable video.
I seen a big utv racer answer a from a fan about installing these blowers he said they actually made the belt hotter when running high rpm as the spinning clutches actually move more air than these blowers and the blowers caused restriction up top. He said low rpm( mud and crawling) the should work great tho. It will be interesting to see your results
Hey Mike, thanks for your in depth videos. I have a Commander 1000 & burn through belts every 600 miles. With your videos I’m getting to be a good belt & clutch mechanic. Keep up the videos, their great. Thanks for your time, that’s a lot of work. I’ll let you know how the mods work for me.
Michael, Wife and I just bought a used 2013 with 900 miles and love your videos on what you did. Thanks a lot for taking time in these videos and really explaining everything. Would you recommend going the route of the blower now with hind sight being 20/20
With my 2012 Commander I run any new belt through the dishwasher (without any cleaners or drying agents) to clean off the oil and then hit it with Scotchbrite before installing it or putting it into a spare belt bag.
I like your style Mike, very professional with your recording skills, audio, and mechanics. I don’t even own a bike but have ridden many lol! I will get one eventually watching your channel.
had the same issue with my Polaris quad that uses a cvt i just used brakleen and some scotch bright in a cross hatching pattern on both clutches and it worked great
Ngl I was really concerned when I saw how much you were cutting off the fan and the boots, but it turned out super clean! Looks like it should work really well
This was a great video!!! In the process of ordering the parts now. Can you tell me what size hole saw you used at the 19.11 min mark? And how did you get that in there? Did you use a swivel bit?
Its been a few years since I made this video but I want to say the hole saw was about 4.5-5 inches, just slightly larger than the fan for clearance. I used a low profile 90 degree drill adaptor to fit it in there.
I just bought my first maverick XRS and watched the vid on the cvt vent snorkel. Can’t find one anywhere. Any ideas on a custom one or where to look? I’m a pretty pretty good at fabrication. Love what you did to it.
i find his vidoes so enjoyable for some reason... i learn a lot of cool tricks and tips and also his content is just suites me a lot.. thank you for putting so much time and effort into your videos and keep up the good work!! i wish i could go riding with you... there is a sick place in jersey called crystal lake we should meet up and go there... i ride a raptor 660R so i rip man. anyways enough bullshit keep up the work looking forward to see some more great content
Oil is the principal raw material in rubber. Rubber is 90% oil. I race dirt track and people treat their tires with pb blaster,wd,etc to make them softer, and stickier. They will be slippery right away, but after a day that's when they get soft. Kind of counter intuitive. Put oil on to get grip. It works. Not saying you should do this for a belt idk what would happen. Maybe better? Maybe not
Be careful with that stone hone I use mine on all my builds but be careful those sometimes they get into the ports in the cylinder just take your time good luck!
Just food for thought if you could maybe you could put in a belt temp gauge so if your belt gets over a certain amount that fan will kick on maybe the way you do it works best for you but just putting my 2 cents out there also great vids man hopefully you get that sick 250 up and running and making some awesome content like you always do
what is a kind of mount bracket into cvt cover from Amazon? I have can am commander 1000 I need help belt cvt tranny cool down because summer avoids overheating belts.
Right at 8:40..you can tell the belt had been smoked.. right where your finger is.. best to replace it.. the hour glass spot will make belt temp go higher too
I’m pretty much doing the same thing you’ve done with your Maverick to a ‘13 commander 1000 I bought with a spun rod bearing. Doing all these upgrades while it’s apart too.
I do have a question if you have a Banshee ATV see I just bought one a couple days ago and it won't start and it won't stay running for like maybe 15 seconds any advice what's wrong with it I took a to a parts store and the Machine guy said he couldn't find nothing wrong with it
only way to truely cool a belt for good is to buy a honda talon! dual disc clutches one for 1,3,5th and one for 2,4,6th more than 20k miles ona talon 1000r as a rental in the sand dunes and still havent needed to replace the clutches LAUGHING to the bank!
I originally had it under the dash. Guys on the forums said after testing its not as effective as on the lower half. It should be water tight; all of the connectors are water tight and the fan has silicone on all joining areas. Time will tell.
How can they just sell them with that big of an issue and then tell you they make a kit to fix their engineering screw up.. wtf. Lol wow its crazy how dumb the public is that they will continue buying junk like that .. its like they sell you a car but you gotta pay extra for the engine because it wasn't engineered to be in it already lol
Small mistake in the video, the fan is 170cfm, not 250. Thank you for watching and all of the parts and tools are linked in the description!
Always thorough, awesome vids dude. I like how you did the 5 " hole saw from each side and joined them.
With my sled I always wash my belts with dawn dish soap. It's a 2017 Zr 9000 making 210 hp. It seems to bite better and last longer.
PACK A PUNCH Nice tip!

nobody asked lol 😂
Pro tip:

I would recommend putting some heat shielding on the underside of that fan too. It runs right over the exhaust.
Your videos help motivate me to get after my 2014 1000r. Respect how thorough and detail oriented your work is. Top notch. Thank you for an informative and enjoyable video.
Mike dude I don’t understand how u cut so dam stright
I seen a big utv racer answer a from a fan about installing these blowers he said they actually made the belt hotter when running high rpm as the spinning clutches actually move more air than these blowers and the blowers caused restriction up top. He said low rpm( mud and crawling) the should work great tho. It will be interesting to see your results
Let’s go!!!!!!! when you upload my day gets better.
Love comments like this; thank you so much for the support man!
Your going to need a heater doors and a windshield to stay warm when we're riding this winter lol
Those modifications was pretty cool..Great video man

uploads short or long always make my day !

Hey Michael if I were you I’d put a little heat tape on the side of the fan closest to the exhaust just for a little reassurance 💯
Pretty awesome idea you have for that ! I bet it works good
With my 2012 Commander I run any new belt through the dishwasher (without any cleaners or drying agents) to clean off the oil and then hit it with Scotchbrite before installing it or putting it into a spare belt bag.

You should have a million subs bro your quality content is unreal!

Thank you man!
Aye man I love your projects there so awesome to see I hope this is a permanent fix keep up the good work and content

@MichaelSabo how about telling us if the fan kept it cooler
Do a build on a yzx1000rr

I added this kit to mine yesterday, it’s super loud whining in cab now wondering if yours does the same with the fan
Nice work as always, Mike!
Nice job 👍👊
Thank you Ronnie!

Very nice work as usual!
Would really like to see how effective fan mod was for cooling the belt. Also, how effective would mod be with ducting only/no fan?
Be careful with that stone hone I use mine on all my builds but be careful those sometimes they get into the ports in the cylinder just take your time good luck!
AWESOME JOB!!!!!!
Great video Michael! What diameter was the rubber elbow that you used from your snorkel kit to make the 90 degree turn? Keep up the good work!
Hey buddy so you have another link for the air duct that goes onto the clutch cover? The link posted isn't working.
Just food for thought if you could maybe you could put in a belt temp gauge so if your belt gets over a certain amount that fan will kick on maybe the way you do it works best for you but just putting my 2 cents out there also great vids man hopefully you get that sick 250 up and running and making some awesome content like you always do
Nice job man 👍
Nice clean work Mike! How has that Clutch worked for you?
Nice work on the fan. Looks factory. What size paddles did you run on the 250R at the dunes?
what is a kind of mount bracket into cvt cover from Amazon? I have can am commander 1000 I need help belt cvt tranny cool down because summer avoids overheating belts.
Well what were the results when you ran it ?
Right at 8:40..you can tell the belt had been smoked.. right where your finger is.. best to replace it.. the hour glass spot will make belt temp go higher too
No heat wrap for the exhaust and fan?
Im not sure how close that fan is to the exhaust. Might want to put some of that heat tape on the bottom side of the fan
Love your videos man🤟🤟🤟
So did the fan work making it run cooler ?
I'm thinking it didn't. Why wouldn't he tell us.
Nice job
Get a can am renegade for the next build please
Looks dam good and should run cooler great job and video
My 14 maverick gets so hot in the cab we don’t use it during the summer months too hot and uncomfortable.
y u wanna sell the maverick that thing is awesome id like to c some more footage of that beast
How well do you think just putting that fan on the primary inlet? (Locate the fan itself closer to the airbox or something)
I’m pretty much doing the same thing you’ve done with your Maverick to a ‘13 commander 1000 I bought with a spun rod bearing. Doing all these upgrades while it’s apart too.
Waiting for the 250r video
U said thats a 250cm the one from amazon on your link is 170
Did this end up making a difference? I can't find any more sxs Vids on your channel after this one :(
You keep up that bitchin' fab work, somebody's gonna think you know what you're doing!!!!!
Haha, thank you John!
I do have a question if you have a Banshee ATV see I just bought one a couple days ago and it won't start and it won't stay running for like maybe 15 seconds any advice what's wrong with it I took a to a parts store and the Machine guy said he couldn't find nothing wrong with it
clean the carb and change the spark plug too check the wires.
Cut the front fenders on the shee...you can thank me later👍🏻
The kickstart will catch on brake pedal
Where's the Maverick shirts bro
Nice
I thought them stone hones were junk?
God damn always put paper or something on your crankcase when the cylinder is taken off that you dont get any dirt or something in it.
Yo Michael
How do you change oil in a 2 stroke it’s in the fuel
The transmission? Wtf
Do you have an IQ of 12 ? Jesus Christ 😂
@@thmike yep. Also I had a 2t scrambler 400 had oil just for the counter balancer. So thats 3 oils just for the motor/trans/fuel.
T- Train calm down I’ve never had a 2 stroke that’s why I asked
Zeke Anderson sorry bro I went all crazy on you everyone learns it sometime in life
So ummmmm, can we get a project zilla👉👈

Not a good idea. It needs to go under the dash. Your going to get water into the fan .plus air box
I originally had it under the dash. Guys on the forums said after testing its not as effective as on the lower half. It should be water tight; all of the connectors are water tight and the fan has silicone on all joining areas. Time will tell.
