I inspected the belt on my '98 sp500 and found I had lost about 4 inches worth of teeth, I have no idea how I did this. Is this a common problem and can anyone recommend a good replacement belt. Thanks for any advice.

 

I may not be any help to you but I'd suggest on getting a new belt from the dealer.

Those belts sound pretty big to me...4 inches thick you say???...that's huge.

 

Get a DaycoMax II belt

 

LOL!!! ATV man..the belt isn't 4 inches thick..he means he lost 4" inches worth of teeth as in 4" long

 

Any problems with the belt can usually be traced
to a build up of heat. Several things contribute
to this. 1. Clutches misaligned 2.clutches worn
3.Rider abuse. You should use low range whenever
you pull,plow,mud or climb if possible.

 

LOL....I'm sorry, I though he meant the thickness...that would be awsome at 4" thick.
