Default HPD Kevlar Belt?

What's the advantages of this belt? Long life, less slippage etc...? I've heard that's it's harder on the sheaves but lasts a long time. So what's y'alls opinion of this belt?

I have tried the belt on my 400 trial mod and it was a pretty good belt. Really stiff and a little harder on the sheves but will last forever. The problem I had was that when stuck in mud or snow it would slip and smoke the belt. But for the most part a well rounded long lasting belt.

I stopped using the kevlars to keep clutch wear down. The way I see it you can buy lots of belts for the price of a clutch. Just my opinion.

When I would race mine it was faster with a stock belt than the kevlar.

CED, I dont think you ever give your poor old bike's belt time to set in the bottom of the clutch. It's more than likely always somewhere in the middle to the top.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

When we use to pull Polaris', we used the kevlar belts, for less slippage and wear on the belt, they were hard on the clutch sheaves.

Unless your drag raceing or pulling with high stall springs and heavier weights, the regular belt would be just as good.
