Not sure about Suzuki but for Polaris I just stay with OEM to be sure. Belts last so long for there price why experiment with a aftermarket to save a few bucks.

WOW! My Belt was $70 for a Polaris and that is Canadian funds ,I think its $50 in the States.

Suzuki sure like to mark up the price no wounder you posted this. But for $122 you do not have to worry about it for years.

My 350 Grizzly has 3000 miles on the original belt and it behaves like new.

I never seen the 5 speed version of the vinson,only the CVT type. Nice machines.

BTW...the 05 polaris 800 stock belt cost $120 us dollars, this was replaced right before i sold it as i roasted an EPI severe duty belt after 3 rides.

I guess there are all over the place in belt prices. This place sells my OEM (3211077) for $42
Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse only changed it once and the old one looked good.

I should check the price for a belt on the Grizzly I just got to see what I,m in for when the time comes.

Just Did and the Yamaha V-BELT
5UH-17641-01-00 oem belt is only $63 http://www.cyclepartswarehouse.com/f...007&fveh=12800

Both belts are for EBS also.
