i just have a question. i have a 06 scramy 500 that i just shredded the drive belt on. So i went down to my local dealer to get one. Everybody told me that it shouldent cost no more than $35. well when they scaned it it came to $60!!!!!!! does anybody know a good web store to get parts from i just dont trust ordering things on line.

I HAVE to check prices now before I open my mouth! OEM parts going through the roof. I told a customer that I THOUGHT a coolant resevoir bottle WAS about 25 bucks,but when looked up was almost DOUBLE that!

Belts were $45-50 several years ago when I bought one, so $55-60 sounds about right with today's inflation. Whoever said $35 was way off. Maybe you could time travel back to the 50s and get one that fits for $35 then go back to the future. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i didnt think it would cost that much seeing it is just a belt. oh 2nd question should i clean the clutch and the other pulley if so what do i use i was thinking of brake cleaner. thanks

If you think that's expensive, buy a belt for a Grizzly. When my Polaris belt was $46.95, my friend's Grizzly belt was about 2-1/2 times more at $145. That was a few years ago so it may be more now.

yes clean the pulleys if they are gritty or dirty. If you don't, you will turn your new $60 belt into a belt sander. If you think the belt is expensive, price those pulleys.

BLOW out clutches first if have air compressor and blow nozzle,do it in a WELL ventilated area,usually lots of dust. Brake cleaner ok afterwards,been using it for years, BEST to take off and clean as cleaner is bad on plastic pieces such as footwells,plus shield rubber front clutch seal with old towel or rag.NOT really necessary to use brake cleaner if you blow it out good!
