I’m looking at buying my 1st belt drive atv and don’t know the 1st thing about them. I’be only owned or ridden one brand from the early 80’s with my current being 13 year’s old with zero serious issue’s. The only CVT I ever rode was a Yammy 600/660 for a mile because I was so muddy trying to get an excavator/trackhoe unstuck. " just put it in high and gas on it was what I was told".

I’m looking at the Outlander 850XT. I don’t dog my atv’s all the time and wondering how the Can Am’s hold up for a long period of time.

Maxxis Zilla’s will be installed, 27’s since they run an inch short. Hunting, pleasure ride’s and occasionally pull a medium size atv trailer and won’t shy away from a good looking mud hole if tree’s around. (Ride alone a bunch)

What’s the do’s and don’ts to keep from burning/breaking a belt?

What speed’s to use high/low range? Example, max speed 15-20 mph on hard packed or dirt road for 2 miles just puttering along enjoying a cold one.

I’m looking to own this machine for an extended period of time, I’ve never keep up with the Jone’s.
