Will stoping and flooring it from a standstill screw up anything on my scrambler 400 besides the belt? Like will It hurt the tranny? Just curious, because I wheelie quite frequently. Thanks

Yeah, if you go too far and get the grab bar on the ground.

Get a clutch kit, it will help your belt live a little loner. HPD has a "heavy duty" clutch belt. Said to hold up to racing conditions with 70 hp. via Full Mod engine.

Will it hurt anything...not really. But if you go ever backwards or it over sideways while doing a wheelie, expect broken parts which are not cheap to replace.

'96 Scrambler w/RCR Stage 1, K&N filter, Boyesen Power Reeds.

Wouldn't a clutch kit increase belt wear, considering that most clutch kit's raise the belts engagment point?

No, a clutch kit does not hurt the belt. Despite the higher engagement with a clutch kit, the belt is not allowed to slip as much. The clutch "grabs" it tighter.

Oh, I guess that makes sense.
