First of all hello to all you guys using these machines ! I'm litterally green as they come with a utv .love my cars classic and modern rode moto x for 20 years but needed something to keep me busy while not doing my latest sport of stage rally..(keeps the daughter happy she loves mud lol)
Anyway I got the zforce after reading up bought a 2018 with 1700 Miles and clean with some spares parts included .
First trip awesome day road I trail (I live in UK devon and the lanes and moors are amazing but as I need to use a few roads it's half road half track trips to do routes and tracks.
.
all of a sudden on a road section accelerating hard to keep up with flow of 50mph traffic the belt snapped I heard it felt it instantly knew the belt had snapped!.
Roadside 3 hour repair later with little tools!(high 5 cf moto for easy of tool selection required and tool kit Pro idea plus my basic bag of kit and the spare parts previous owner supplied I managed to watch a view videos on you tube and easy remove the required casings plastics ect access the cvt I saw the remains of the belt in pieces with the rope inside wrapped around both clutches tightly wound up.
I removed as much as I could roadside cutting twisting pulling unwinding but there was still remains in the secondary clutch.hammering with rain I popped on the belt as daughter was stressed now only 11 years been out 8 hours muddy wet and stranded..belt went on put vase on and crawled home thefinal 4 Mike's of trail to home no issues .
Day 2.took it out for a clean at local power wash ..instantly realised on the roads as I need to speed up that it was only doing 30mph..day before 65 with easy ...rpm was hitting 7500 and doing 30 mph.
Running pulling like a horse but no speed.
Went home decided strip the cvt again and clutch...found the worn sliders !! All 6 meted with rough edges and 3 broken nylon guides on clutch..luckily I had some so replaced all the sliders and sleeve all fine..then i trued to separate the secondary clutch h to get the old last bits of rope out and still couldn't get it out ...so tried to remove the 2ndary clutch for closer inspection tion as you guys k ow not much room in there ..I can not seem to get it all the way off and joined nothing but few cuts and bruses so again got a few more bits of rope out tiny stands buy must be more in there .my thoughts are it's spread the secondary causing the slack belt and lack of drive at high speed ..I'm new to ctv barely understand how it works to be honest!
Any tips to remove secondary clutch ? And is this the issues with rpm or am I chasing nothing..I rebuilt it again and one again won't exxed about 28 mph drives and pulls better but now won't reverse as his limiter before clutch engages....
Ps my local service centre is 80 miles away and I don't have a way to transport it there ...I have tools I'm no mechanic but have knowledge to service maintained and carry out basis repoars and rebuilds of 2 stroke engines ..
I'm considering buying a new secondary clutch to make it simple if it's the issue but if I can't fit it illbe at desk end stuck.
Sorry long post but figured read all the story at once .
Thanks for any info

I took the case off the clutch and the belt seem to look slack??? With no info to relate how to tention I drove home fine up to the max speed it runs pulls fine but will only do 30mph .and also won't reverse about 2 mph without limiter and revs are at 4000 rpm.
