Ya, it keeps your belt tight and keeps it from slipping and prematurly going bad.

 

If you like Arctic Cat, and Kawasakis V-Twin, get an Arctic Cat 650V2. They have 2006 models left. You get the best of both worlds. Arctic Cats options and ground clearance, with Kawasakis power!! If you look at them, look at the 2006 models, as they pretty much perfected them with no problems.
