1200 miles on the original belt; EPI black spring and the belt kept tight. I drive it hard, but not alot of mud.

2200 kms on original belt after adjusting at 300 kms and blowing dust out with compressed air every couple hundred.
No plans for a new belt yet...

1250 km and I just took out my last spacer yesterday. Should be good for 1800 km or so. I got 26" 589s on it and I am a big guy, so there is bound to be a little more wear on the belt. The clutch is in awesome shape. A little grooving in the very bottom of the drive clutch sheaves. Driven clutch sheaves were perfect. I hope one of these aftermarket companies get their a$$ in gear and make us a belt. It probably won't be any better, but it should be cheaper.

2020 miles, no more shims. No slipping yet unless I really push it hard. Will be changing it out in the 200-400 miles.

I've got about 1000 miles on mine and not a problem or noise yet. I'm not the least bit easy on it, ride it through mud and constantly pulling trailers and vehicles with it. It runs awesome but it is a little cold natured. If I do haft to have the belt and springs replaced in the future does anyone have a clue what it costs? Have a good ride!

Just tore mine down yesterday and installed black spring. At 1100+ miles belt is still in spec although there are no shims left to take out. Dealer adjusted belt under warranty and must have removed all the shims at that time. I will need to replace the belt in the near future.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
