Does anyone know if this new belt would fit/work in an older machine like let's say my 97 Sportsman? Would it be worth it or should I stick with a regular belt?

 

new belts? i suppose you're talking about the new 700 belt?i don't known about them yet but,
depending on what riding style you do,if you want to spend little more and get better last longer belt you should try aftermarket belt like DAYCO
ultimax 2,they perform better (less slipping) and hard compounds materials as well than standard polaris belt,it's up to you,remember the belt is what move you quad on,so it worth really the money to get one that is better in long term,but if you're using the quad at standard applications and riding (not performances oriented or abuse)
you might better to stay with polaris standard belts to keep cost down,just my toughts...

 

Hey Thanks for the response there Scramblered. I've been using the regular Dayco belt as of late & it's been ok so far. I was just wondering if the newer belts would also work on an older quad.

 

Hey Scramblered, you dont have a part # for that Dayco belt do you? We are talking for the 2001 and up belts right??

 

ok,so you already using them (DAYCO),i think get the ULTIMAX 2 dayco belt and you won't be disapointed,they will fit if you order the proper one for your model,sorry i have no # at that time,i was talking about the 2 stroke 400 belt...
you can go check at dayco.com

 

Their website just talks about snowmobiles. No reference to quads or even an application chart!!!!!!!!!
