| When you change a belt take the time to wash the primary and seconday and clean the sheaves , a belt that is failing will make a jerking feeling as it is failing and sometimes a loss of top end . I have always run just a Polaris belt also , I have seen EPi , dayton, and others fail premature . | |

| Good info punder. Belts also need to be broke in properly. Not sure of after market belts but polaris does have a break-in instructions for their belts listed in the manual. Well at least the 2008 model does. | |

| Yeah I cleaned the sheaves with a scotch pad and rubbed it down with alcohol after blowing out all the dust in clutches. I am going to have a stock belt as a spare. | |

Dale from DDP says the same. Scotch Brite the sheaves ,wash the new belt with liquid soap and water and Polaris is as good as it gets for belt endurance. | |

| Yeah I washed the belt down good too, rode it easy in low gear for about a hour today going to do about 30 minutes each night this week and take it too brimstone if belt ain't broke in oh well. Lol | |

| Its High gear at low speeds that does the most damage , the belt rides low in the sheaves causing lots of heat and wear ( even causing grooves in the sheaves ) . Best to run low in speeds under 20-25 over that run high, this causes the best to stay in the upper part of the sheaves and where it is the coolest , longer belt life and less wear and tear . I am bad to jump in and put it in High just cause I don't want to listen to it whine in low but it is that or just go over 20. | |

| Thanks Punder, yeah I was just messing around house and had it in high cause I usually run it at about 60 up and down road then take it on a little hill that has couple steep spots, I think it was a combination of previous owner wearing belt down and me running in high On that hill. You think a 5 hour breaking on belt will do? Riding in low and around 20? | |

| Just ride it , but don't use High to crawl over things like trees and rocks , Don't use the belt to hold you in place on a hill , If you are giving it gas and not moving then you are burning belt and sheaves ( at least think that way ) and it will last you a long time . | |
