  1. Got belt off.  Am I missing something here?  It doesn’t appear to be worn anywhere to me. 
     

    When I had the cluch compressed with the belt tool there was a rattle in the secondary clutch.  Not there with the clutch not compressed. Is that normal or do I need to take it apart and look for broken rollers?

  2. Father-in-law bought a 2019 HD8 with about 2K miles on it.  He’s had it for about a year so far, but hasn’t used it a lot.

    He is hard on equipment and last weekend decided to drive it out through the middle of my duck hole.  He of course got stuck, did the “throttle it till I spin to the frame” and finally two of us on ATV’s winched him out.

    Got in the Can Am yesterday and noticed a shudder when taking off.  As the day progressed I heard what is most likely the belt squealing a bit on take off.  More concerning was a slight rattle from that area when coming to a stop.

    I’m a Honda guy, I haven’t ever worked on belt stuff but I am handy with a wrench. Belt replacement looks pretty straightforward, but what else should I be looking for while I’m in there? (source of rattle?) What belt should I use? Local dealership had one for $169 and one for $189 that they said was for the sport machines, which tells me there are more options than just using the stock OEM belt, although I have no problem with that if they are the best option.
