Is this cylinder ok to use?
Is it junk or is it usable?
2013 XP 900 Belt Width
The OE belt I currently have is # 3211148, it has over 2200 miles on it and the width is about 1.230".
I have two new Gates belts # 21C4140, one measures under 1.200" (brand new, never used) and the other I just purchased measures about 1.230. That’s a huge difference for the same belt!
Gates website says the belt should be 1.219", the Amazon seller said the belt should be 1.281" wide.
All these #’s are so inconsistent!! Anyone know the real specs? I can’t even find a spec on a new OE belt, let alone what the minimum thickness should be. The manual just says measure against the width of a new one. Well my old one is wider than one of my new belts and about the same as my other new one, so that doesn’t tell me much.
I sent Gates an email, just waiting on a response from them. Thought I’d ask here and see if anyone has been through this before and found any useful information.
Should I just get an OE belt and keep the Gates for a spare? Will the new OE belt be wider than my widest Gates belt?

counter balance shaft gear half the teeth broken off
the oil was full and clean. Tore it apart last night and the counterbalance shaft gear had about half the teeth missing and the crank gear had all the teeth but a couple had a few gouges in them. Everything else looked fine Anybody heard of this and have any idea what happen
I do change oil and air filter very often and everything looked super clean in the air box and intake tract

Clutch Cover Problem
Curious if this has happened to anyone else? I think I might try to see if it’ll be a warranty issue since the dirt is obviously going to lead to a failure of some sort.
