Do you have any snorkles on your bike? Definately need to drain everything. I dont know Polaris that well, I run a Yammie Wolverine and my bro runs a Honda Rincon, but I know you have to snorkel the crap outta those CVT. Is the bike going into gear and just not moving or is it not going into gear at all? When you put it in gear, if it goes in, can you wind it up and hear what you think is the belt slipping? Or what?

 

Best bet is to jump on over to www.highlifter.com/forum and jump on the polaris board to see if anything has been said.

no it's all stock.. i kept it revved up all while it was under water so no water got in the exhust. it goes in gear and it will move but not easy... you give it like almost half throttle and it'll move slightly.. tomorrow i guess i'll drain the gear oil out and replace it and clean it up.

 

edit: thanks for the site btw
