Default Question about the belt on the 650

I'm pretty sure my Rincon leaves tommorow and I'll be getting an ac 650. If the ac has the same trans and motor as the Kawi why are you guys having all the trouble with the belts?I had the rincon in just about every bad place on Windrock (in Tn.)and had 1,400 trouble free miles,I'd hate to be making a bad decision. Thanks for any advice.

Get a Brute Force 750. The belt are easy to adjust plenty of how to sites in the Kawi section.

The belt has to be properly adjusted. I had mine adjusted after the first 100 miles, and it has been perfect ever since. Also, I run in low range unless I'm running over 25 mph for more than a few seconds. (The thing will go 45mph in low range) I am especially fond of low range in difficult terrain.

The funny thing is that I received a letter today from A/C saying that the machine should be driven as I just described to avoid premature belt wear. The main problem, though, comes from not having the belt properly tightened.

I've not had any trouble on the trail with either of my machines. I'm sold on them.
