Just curious, what kind of belt life do you "Big Green" riders see out of your rubberbands? Is it more or less so than the average life expectancy of a Prairie? Do you need to adjust it like the Prairie/Brute Force?

 

THis is somthing i had always wonderd. Prairies have to use low gear to keep the belt in good shape but the kfx only has high. Hmm. i wonder.

 

I try to change my belt about once a year to be on the safe side. I've never needed to adjust mine. It's good to save an old belt and carry it with you on the long rides just in case.

 

So you go with a belt-change a year and that pretty much holds you? How much of the year do you ride and do you baby it? Someday I will own a KFX700 if they continue making them for awhile. I rode one and was very impressed with it.

 

Hey man...

I ride my V every other weekend and I <u>DO NOT</u> baby it. My V has over 200 hours on it now and I've never had a problem. I have the Dalton weights which hold the belt tighter than the lighter stock weights and minimise slippage. Keep in mind though that I ride in the desert and my bike rarely sees water other than washing it. I'm not sure how water affects belt life if at all. Good luck......
