Just wondered what you all use for replacements, I think mine is about smoked. If it works I'd like to use the one off a 700 EFI since its supposed to be a stronger belt.

 

hey wolverine,

i too am kind of wondering the same thing. i came across a sportsman 500 ho belt for dirt cheap. but didnt know if it would(or should) go on my scrambler 500 ho. so i had to pass.

i have heard that upgrading to a belt from a bigger motor or size of machine, will help in belt life/performance.

does any one know if you can swap belts for different models?

i didnt mean to jump in or change your post, but i think it is an important question.

 

Thats what I'm thinking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img], and the EFI belts have kevlar in tham so they are supposed to be stronger, I'm just not sure I can use one.

 

EBS equiped quads use a cogged belt. It may not be as efficient on a non-ebs quad. Most belts do have a Kevlar type cord in them. It may not be the Kevlar brand of cord, but it is just as strong. Dayco makes a few different belts that are considered better than stock. Look here Dayco belts. I use the Dayco Maxll. Part # MAX1121M2. Dennis Kirk is selling them at a decent price.

 

i use the kevlar belt from hpd,it has been great so far..

 

i think hpd makes kevlar belts link then go to matnece

 

I bought a HPD Kevlar belt from Rick Ritter, Very Nice and grips like crazy!!!

Chris

 

I use the same Dayco Max2 belt that Fishslab used. Man that thing grips great! Or you can get a Gates kevlar belt from Napa. Gates#At4090. It is the same belt that HPD sells for 1/2 the price

 

will a kevlar belt help performance any?

 

Yes. It will last a lot longer and will grip a lot better. Especially if you start pushing some hp throught that thing, like you will be doing soon[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The only problem with the kevlar belts is that you run more of a risk of grooving the clutch rather than smoking the belt
