Yep, smoked belt. He probably had enough left to get it out of the hole using low. My sons went on the ATP. It was about 2/10 of a mile and there was a road crossing ahead. There happened to be a place that fixes quads right by the bridge we would normally go under. God is good. Towed him to the bridge and the guy came down and installed the belt for us for $75 including labor. Cool! If you are ever in the Newport or Claremont, New Hampshire areas the name of the place is Crazy Ed's Motorsports. I'm just glad I didn't have to tow it 10 miles out of the backwoods.

Yep, that's my thinking now. I'll get one for each quad and carry the necessary sockets, etc. There are times I think about going back to a semi-automatic clutch machine.

His belt could of been well on its way out before the Video. Some people can kill a belt fast by riding in High range in a low range situation.

I dont know about yours but theres more removing crap like body parts and footwells thats more then a pain to change mine out. I can feel my belt going before its done so ive luckly had time to make it back to truck before its gone. just hate how it chews up plastic cover and gets strands all over
