"I have a 2015 xp 4 1000. About 400 miles and already went thru 2 OEM belts. I trail ride in sand. Pretty fast trail rides. "
What is my point here? This guy is totally stock, stock 15 belt, stock clutching etc.
Will you blow a aftermarket belt? yes, will you still do it after a clutch kit? yes
Should it be less often? yes
I rebuilt some stock clutches yesterday that just eat belts left and right, if you saw them you would know why.
Please don’t be closed minded if you have a aftermarket belt like the Gates C12 we sell or good clutch kit like the Dalton like we sell and things don’t go perfect for you. Your driving style, where you ride and whether you have dirty or worn clutch parts is the main reason of belt failure not the kit or belt.
There is waaaaay more people get on forums stating troubles they have after installing aftermarket stuff than when just stock. For some reason having problems with stock belts and clutching is acceptable.
The statement just go OEM belt simply is not true either. This one email is just one of a million I have received or talked on the phone about.
If you are going through a OEM belt or a Gates C12 belt then there is a reason and the least of which is the belt itself.
Help me help you!!!
