So two days ago a buddy and myself are moose hunting. We are lucky enough to get an animal, and had to take it out across some wet boggy areas.

Im not new to ATV riding, or to Can-Am in general. I had an 06 650. This year I purchased a ’15 1000 MAX XT and my buddy has the single seat of the same bike.

So…I got stuck. There was no getting out myself easily. My buddy backs up to my bike and hooks on to me. We start pulling in low 4WD and smoke the crap put of both belts! Not a great day.

He has 27" ITP Mega Mayhems, and I have the same tire in 28". So now come the repairs. Im putting my bike in the shop Tuesday for the first service and a new belt. Im opting for the more durable belt…dealer said its in the 189.00 range…he said its the same belt used on the 1000 turbo maverick.

Im also going to get a Dalton Clutch Kit. I had one on the 06 650 I had, but I was running 28" Mudzillas on that….quite a lot heavier than the Mayhems.

Should this help with the issues of being stuck and burning belts, or should I go another direction?

Thanks
