Ok, first post I've ever done in my life, hope I do it correct.

Here's your answer, the engine brake on the Teryx is controlled electronically, it is a product of engine rpm. An electronic seloniod moves a fork against the outer primary plate to force the sheve together and maintain belt engagement. After engine rpm drops below the value described electronically, the selonoid releases and the belt slips.

So, if engine rpm is above the value by either application of throttle or the unit is rolling down hill (engine braking) the belt is engaged. This is why you are riding along happy as can be going down hill engine braking then all the sudden you are freewheeling is the engine rpm dropped below value and the selonoid released and thus belt slippage.


This must happen or the belt being engaged all the time would not let the engine idle, the Rhino braking is different through a wet clutch and one way bearing so the belt is always tight and idle is allowed via wet clutch

Can it be adjusted, not recomended and way complicated, Kawi has 3 different clutch plates and 2 different special tools required just to set it up.

All I got , Out
