Status: offline 		i filled the belt housing full of mud and water last weekend so i took it off to clean it all out and my belt has been this loose since i have had it. it has a heelclicker clutch kit and only has 300 miles on the fourwheeler.  i just walked the belt off with just using my hands turning the secondary pulley and put it on with just using my hands. when we took the one off my buddys brute force it was a tight fit walking the belt on and off. the first picture with me squeezing it with my hands i'm using hardly and force.

Status: offline 		No it should nto be that loose.  

Possible causes.

Engine mount broken causing the engine to be shifted rearward

Belt worn too thin, This causes the belt to sit too low in the secondary clutch.

Stretched belt

wrong belt for the application or aftermarket belt

But on all ebs systems the belt should have almost zero deflection (your pics show alot more then zero deflection).

The only polaris CVT systems that don't run a tight belt (zero deflection) are the non ebs models.

Status: offline 		If you had a broken motor mount before its possible you motor has shifted a little. You can loosen the motor mounts and move the motor where you need it and get the 10".
