8dn belts what's the reason?

[skidooslayer687]

The white tunnel will show dirt for sure, especially belt dust, but there's consiserably less with the 8dn from what I've seen, ran 8jp all last year, switched to 8dn this year

You can also remove the screws altogether and use an adjustment tool.

Here is a TY vendor's answer to the belt adjustment as well as aiding in belt removal,

I bought one the week he introduced them and it has worked flawlessly and makes the belt deflection easy to set and maintain.

Mine was worse than Yamamarc with 8DN and less miles. I have 500 total now. I went into a 200 mile or so jaunt with some testing and had dust everywhere including the back sides of my hand grips.

Never ran 8JP. Mine is just a belt chewing SOB if I run it hard. I think it all comes from slip at top speed.

It could very we'll be... What are you running for clutching?

I've tried several setups to date.

It could very well be slip on top.... I was having some issues with slip and I added some tip weight and unwrapped the secondary 1 and it seemed to correct it
