belt.. engine is running well and rev.s up ok? goes into gear but won't go forward or backwards? 

Have you ever replaced the belt before or is it original?

Mines a 05 and ive never changed the belt . only bought it last year so my fingers are crossed motor revs no problem no noise ...i just lost all gearing doesnt matter if iam in 4x4 or not...hoping its just the belt not the cvt itself

Its gonna be fun pulling the cvt cover lol

Yeah sounds like belt broke. Before the ATV stopped moving did it want to move after it was put in gear? My F.I.L. had a worn belt and it wanted to move when in gear with no throttle replaced it and no issues. The old belt was toast with fibers sticking out and flat spots. His was also that engine-braking model.

I was plowing with it when it just stopped moving and now it dont try to move so iam thinking the cvt clutch is kicking in and out but theres just no belt lol thats what iam hoping anyways ill pull the cover and make sure but i plan on buying extra belts

start with the easiest and cheapest first. Check the belt.

The cover is a pain in the arse to remove . Good luck with whatever the problem is

Thanks guys

If the belt snapped there will be lots of belt fibers everywere, make sure u clean the clutch up good if that's the case. It can cause major clutch issues if u dont.

I plan on blowing it all out with the air compressor anyways iam sure the cover has probebly never been off
