how do the poll results reflect a .33 on 3 of them? 
did one person vote 3 times
edit: never mind- I just realized it is %, not votes

since we're on the discussion of when to replace a belt.... I've got a RZR 800 belt on my trailblazer 400 and I smoked it for just a second on saturday. After I got pulled out i noticed that it had a jumpy spot until it got rolling over about 5mph. I took it off today and it's got a short (about 2") spot in it that looks like it burnt out about 3/32" in the center of the area. It also took the little kevlar string away in that section. Should I just run it and carry a spare and tools or should I not trust it and just buy another belt? What do you guys think?

if you smell it, hear it, and feel it slipping then replace it- other then that, leave it alone!
I've owned atv's that had well over 3000 miles on the cvt belt.
unless you own a can-am... in which case, if it's slipping and it smells then change it. Can-Am cvt's are noisey by nature and always whine.
btw- I've never ever had to replace a worn or broken cvt belt. fwiw.
When I sold my polaris sp800 a while back- it had over 3k on the belt. I plowed with it, ran it in mud, water & rough trails- not a single slip or squeal.
