Default Dayco belt.... how are they holding up?

Did a search and found lots of info. How are they doing now that you guys have some miles on them? I know some of you guys had some that you thought wouldn't allow for any adjustment. Is this proving to be true?
I don't cre if I lose a few Mph on top end as long as I don't have to adjust or replace this thing every 100 hours.

Also some of yall were trying out P360 belts on P700's. Was this with stock clutches and what would the gains be?

Thanks guys
Chris

my dayco belt came apart at 110 hours. I had the smallest shim in and it had just a little squeel but did not move forward. my kawi belt has 80 hours and looks brandnew still. I lost about 3 mph in 300 foot drag with the dayco.

half the time i ride low range under 20 or 25mph usually on tight trails and in the deep mud and puddles. otherwise i'm in high with it pegged all the way 90 % of the time. wheelies and spinning all the time with the stock 25 " tires. I really can't keep my finger out of it. i feel i ride very hard. my buddy has the 700 and his back tires still have more than half tread, mine are slicks almost but believe it or not i very rarely get stuck. similiar hours

how do u like the 4 degree key? notice a little or a lot of difference

I really can't tell you how much the offset key has made for me. I haven't been able to do a top speed run with it and I have added a lot of weight to the bike. Winch, rack bag full of crap and the heavier and slimed tires. But I can tell you that other than top end it would eat up my bike in stock form. I can do 1/2 throttle wheelies now (no kidding) in high range!
I really wanted to put the NAPA mod and a twin air filter in but it is running so good right now I don't want to have to re-jet.

you wont need to re jet with the napa hose and twin air, they don't make that much of an increase in air flow. I put my twin air in and did the nyroc muffler mod and didnt experience any need to jet. Of course I may have been running a little rich with the DAJ's, but the twin air is more like adding time to a dirty air filter in my opinion.

By the way, Dayco's belts appear to be holding up just fine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
