Why your Polaris RZR/General/Ranger has a Jerky Start!!

This is a discussion on why your Polaris UTV has a jerky start, one thing I forgot in video is gas on it!!!

I really truly never understand all these dislikes. Here’s a guy trying to explain something to you, took the time to make it, edit it and post it, that has far more experience than anyone leaving dislikes or you’d have made your own video. Thank you for the explanation and hopefully someone learned something.

I blew a belt on xp1000. Replaced it with aftermarket belt. Over time it became very jerky at slow speeds in drive and reverse. I replaced the clutch with a dalton and your wider belt. It rides great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and great products.

I replaced my original 2017 polaris general belt today with the hunter works.
Problem was solved, no more jerky starts.
Thank you very much. 👍🇺🇸

I am a firm believer that a belt should be either engaged or not engaged, when starting out do not ease into the throttle, get on the throttle so that the belt engages quicker and does not slip.

If you have questions about clutch systems this is the man to ask, he will reply back and help you if it’s possible. I bought some clutch removal/installation tools from his website and a 1 way bearing for my RZR 800 and msgd him several times and he always replied back.

I just put your belt on my sons 2016 900s RZR. It was very jerky when applying slight acceleration. It was like that when we bought it used. Now it’s smooth as silk. I hope it stays that way. These belts do appear to help. I’ll follow up after more use. As of now I give Hunterworks belts 5 stars.

I ordered the 92 GC belt for my 17 Polaris Ranger 1000 xp crew that was pretty jerky from a dead stop. The Hunterworks belt 100% alleviates the jerky start. I could not be happier with the product, service or the shipping time. Thank you very much Hunterworks for a great product!!

youtube sent me this link, I just did my belt on a ranger 570 ( ultimaxHQ ) but your video was helpful in understanding what is happening.

Mother Clutcher secondary completely changed my diesel ranger. Whole new machine. Gone is the very jerky start and, more importantly, gone is the annoying harsh engine braking.

Thanks for the explanation and education. Looking to replace my stock belt with a Hunterworks soon enough.

Please lets us know as soon as you come out with new clutching products for the 2023 Ca-Am Commander dps 700, belts, clutch removal tool, clutch kits etc.
By the way your videos are great, easy to follow and very informative.
Thanks

I’ve always heard that once you slip a belt it’s only going to happen more and more. Accidentally slipped mine on my 18 Polaris sportsman 850. Now it has the jerky start. I forgot to put it in low to climb out of a rut in 4x4. Needles to say I’ll be looking at these if my bike is supported.

Don't even have a side by side yet butim glad i know about these issue's ahead of time. Thanks for the research and info.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I bought my razor brand new in 2009 and I had never had any trouble with my machine.

[probegt]

My 2020 general been jerky since day 1 when I unloaded of the trailer. Especially in reverse. My only complaint with the machine.

[claudedenney]

I bought my 2019 general 1000 4 new. At time of purchase the sales man told me to press the brake and give it a little gas to help not be so jerky. It works . without pressing the brake first it’s jumpy when starting to move forward or back. It just thought it is expected to be like that. I have not owned any other atv. So nothing to compare it to.

Thanks for sharing this with us! I appreciate it

[jamiecarroll]

I got a 1, 000 with a jerky start and I'd like to try one of your belts first then maybe go to the part that you was talking about the clutch that stops the jerky start that you fell

[jag_.]

Theres also something called the Carrier bearing that is between the two front seats on a 2 door rzr that over time wears out and also causes extreme jerkiness since the driveshaft wiggles
which can cause the driveshaft to bend ive swapped this on 4 of our rzrs and had to swap a driveshaft too.

Would appreciate any suggestions. 2012 Polaris 800 Razor EFI hesitates at 45-50 mph. 45 is about 6350rpm. Not really a sputter or cough. Repairman just cleaned throttle body and fuel injectors and said idle air circuit was partially open causing a misfire at that speed. None of the work performed solved the issue. One person suggested the primary and secondary cluthes might be fighting each other. Need to get it fixed pretty quick so we can sell it and move, but I want it to be right. I should also mention that it has full power no issues 0-45. No codes, no engine light. Always at that speed only.Thanks. Appreciate anything.
