As some of you may remember since mid summer i was havin crank seal after crank seal blow out. It started 1 ride after using snorkels. Blew out a seal every ride after that (3). Rode last night with new seal and factory intake/exhaust back on and rode all night long, 0 issues. I noticed with the snorkels my belt was disinigrating. Belt plug would be full of dust and fibers just after 10 minutes. Also felt very sluggish when warmed up. So we chalked it up to the belt getting hot, breaking down, and ruining seal. Also noticed black rubber fused to the clutch sheaves. When i removed the last belt, the chord pulled right out with no effort and the layers were seperating. The kit i bought used 1 1/2 hoses. With a nasty hard 90 to the left right out of the belt exhaust, almost kinked. Guess the hoses are too small and caused excess heat to ruin belt/seal. Sound feasible? I hope my seal issues are over. On a positive note i cleaned up clutches and installed the 23C belt from Hunterworks and it is a night and day difference over the 21C. If i make it through the winter with no more issues. I want to snorkel again for summer. Maybe using 3 inch. Any suggestions?
