Default 99 sportsman 335...time for a belt

The old 335 needs it's first replacement belt. What is a good AM to go with? I just put a Dayco XTX on my outty 800. But I don't thing the wimpy 335 needs all that. Besides the XTX was close to $100.

The OEM is just a Polaris 3211077 belt and are only $39.86 OEM motorcycle and ATV parts from Honda, Yamaha & Polaris – Cycle Parts Warehouse so its not like a AM belt would be much of a savings anyways.

If it was a $130 OEM 3211123 used in the XP that Polaris soaks people for, I may look for a good AM Dayco or Carlisle belt in its place,they work great in my sleds.

I tried a Goodyear GatorBack belt in my ATV for a short time but the belt felt much harder,and would slip a little so I went back to OEM.

I use Gates belts on the Polaris ATV's without the EBS. They work just fine. They will last as long as the Polaris belts and I can buy them for only $28.
