Like stated earlier I also pay close attention to what gear I am in and I constantly stop and shift her into low when ever the trail dictates.

ok guys, i have read alot of post over the years about aftermarket belts and have raced polaris sleds yeara ago(i know it's not a 4 wheeler) and people have tried wasting money on the non oem belts and just don't get the same life or performance out of them. the toleances are not the same which are super important when trying to get everything out of your belt. in wheelers, heat is the number one cuase of premature endding of the belt. hence why it's important to use low range when going slow and in hard areas. most people as well as myself don't have as good as luck w/ the non oem belts. bottom line is you get what you pay for>
