Something broke when installing new belt .

[Bedo]

Out on the trail and broke a belt we rolled the primary backwards (by hand) to unjam the new belt and something went crunch.

Engine won't start now. I'm guessing the timing chain or something broke?

What Model SXS do you have ?

[Bedo]

Sorry I have a Polaris xp1000 .

Might have jumped the cam chain I've read if you turn the wrong direction it will jump timing. Man that sucks hope you didn't damage anything inside. Good luck

I have that the timing chain can jump on all of the Polaris if the engine is rotated backward !!

[crazywatson]

Yeah that's probably what happened. Timing jumped. That sucks!

From what I have heard the chain tensioner collapses when you turn the engine in the wrong direction . What direction did you turn it ?

If it is such a big No No there should be a dummie sticker on the clutch cover. There is enough dummies stickers everywhere else on it. Lol I turned it counter clockwise.
