[Kman]

Stupid question but does anybody know if there is a drain on the CVT?

Should be. Look under the "Fat" front section. Its like a rubber plug with a wing grip I believe.

his is a sra it may be diffrent then the 750i but if it there it will be under the FAT section as pointed out. Just pull it out then reinsert it

glad this came up on a side note. I hate the rubber plug. my seems to leak when under water. On my artic cat it was an actual screw with a rubber gasket. Seemed to work much better. Any one else have this issue? It does not leak a whole lot but enough to get water on the belt at times.

I don't have that problem...but I also don't have any water up here either LOL. I think I read somewhere that someone had modified one of those twist-lock plugs to work...you know the kind that you can insert, then screw in the lever-top, then flip over. Make a small one of these.

my brother has an 06 650...it did not have a plug.

So I had a pretty good look around the CVT and I can't find the drain. All the cover bolts are visible so I guess if it swamps the cover has to come off. I thought things like this only happened to polaris's...

My '08 650i has a drain plug (rubber). It's always under water/mud and not a problem. I only get water in my CVT when my CVT exhaust is under water.

the sra is different then the IRS the sra and p650 has no drain hole

Nothing a drill and a plug won't fix.

You can also buy a newer CVT cover + plug and just replace the old one. They aren't that expensive.[/b]

When you say buy a newer one, do you mean for a 650i/750? Or am I just as well doing a little drill job? I'm not losing sleep over this, but... now that I talked about it the CVT will get flooded for sure.
