2015 UXV 450i transmission is slipping

[StreetGlideDoo]

Hi,  I have a 2015 UXV 450i that only has 545 miles on it and the transmission just started to not fully engage/slip in both H and L, and R...any help in diagnosing the problem would be great...

The only thing I know that would cause a cvt transmission to slip would be a worn out belt, unless something has broken inside.  Time to remove belt cover for a thorough inspection.

Was it left out in the rain or did you wash it? 

Brought our 2018 home and washed it.  The next day it was slipping.  Apparently there is a defect and water can get into the cvt case and make the belt slip.

The dealer modified something on it and drained the water out and all is good now.

There is a drain at the bottom of the cvt housing, might have to drop the center skid plate to open it. Be carefull when washing it so you dont force water into the cvt housing breather opening which is under the seat. Your dealer may have found something they forgot to connect...glad all is good now!

my dealer opened the drain plug and left it open

a couple years ago,  I got water in it in a waterhole, not discovered till ccold weather set in, all of a sudden my 450i wouldn't move at all. turned out, my belt was just frozen in a block of ice, when I saw how much work it is just to get to the belt  I had my dealer come get it.  they let it thaw and pulled the plug, good to go, been that way for nearly 3 years, I have lost about 1 mph in top speed over that time, nobody will make me believe that it not normal belt wear for the amount of log skidding and towing that I do.
