So you're saying that the stock Renegade/Outlander belt stretches a little and absorbs drive line shock?so this is an on going discussion on belts lol so here my thoughts .... after trying countless belts on a high horsepower machines that i run with big mud tires i have found the standard can am belt that comes on outlanders and renegades is the best belt you can buy (for an atv) the maverick belt its by far the strongest belt but with that being said..... the maverick belts has almost next to no stretch and is very hard on parts such as diffs, trannys, and even crank shaft bearings... i have been pushing saying mavericks belts are the best belts and you should buy a maverick belt and nothing else but i've came to the conclusion that is wrong.... The Mav belt is heavy duty and people have been having good luck with it. But…because it has no stretch it shock loads components. On a heavy sxs it’s less noticeable but on an ATV that shock load over and over and over every time the belt engages is eventually going to wear on things. Diffs. Tranny, crank bearings you catch my drift other peiople will say other things but i have buddies with bikes running 120 RWHP on NOS on the mud bikes with 30 inch tires and have never broke a belt or even smoked a belt before my bike runs probably 95 RWHP after a shot of NOS and im the same way i ride in the deepest skeg and mud and i have never broke or smoked a belt either and thats with stock can am belts.... just my little input
Any thoughts on the Dayco XTX? I just pulled one off a Polaris 850 after 2000 miles and it seemed to be in decent shape but I'm also curious about the Gates Carbon. I have 2000 miles on my stock belt on the 1000 but for some reason feel compelled to swap it before a Hatfield McCoy trip in April.
It looks like the X MR's use the same belt at the Outlander, PN 715000302This morning I went to my can am dealer to get a spare belt for my 2014 Outlander 800xt and he gave me the option for a "heavy-duty" belt that they used on the MXR's. so I took it...my question is the belts for the MXR's and mavericks the same?
Will do... how crucial is the break in period for the belts? Like should I follow the no full speed for 30 miles and so on?
