Another poll...this is for everyone with a sidewinder

[tsiceman]

Why not cut a small wood board to fit in between then just measure the board and add for axle halves.

 

[Soupy]

Mine is 261.5, theres no choice for less than 262.

It will be fine if you run the proper offset soup. Only thing that will change is you might loose a couple MPH up top.

 

[ClutchMaster]

Just be absolutely certain your parallel, level, C to C, and offset are correct. Then test it.

It's ok soupy....

I see Beerman posted a 265mm and then commented later after his post that he is more like 262mm

My center to center is 262mm. I have my offset set at 61mm with only 1 washer behind the secondary. It seems to blow a belt about every 400miles. Clutches are really hot! Was running the full TP clutch kit . Got Temps down a bit running the TP orange at 30 deg. Put the stock secondary set up back in to test but weather isn't cooperating for more testing. Not sure if all this info is needed for this poll but I thought it can't hurt.

Big thanks to all the guys that post great info on this forum. I have learned so much about this sled

Every 400 miles? You are in SOUPYVILLE territory!
Put it in the poll.
Then go to the ATM before your next ride...

 

[NOS-PRO]

Keep the great info coming guys....

I can see a trend where closer C to C distance is more problematic than the farther C to C dimensions by what everyone is posting.

 

[1nc 2000]

I measured mine with a tape measure on center to center of the hold down bolts.

263.5 mm center to center
62 mm offset
14xx miles on current belt.

Edit:
Belt snapped in half today. Sounded like a bomb going off!
Blew side panel clean off the sled.
Note to one's self, change belt before 14xx miles on it.

I would love to stretch my CtC and run 8DN belts....

But I dont see how this dimension can be changed.

Will the smaller c to c make the belt seem too long? I have a cat but it I rev the motor, the belt will walk out of the primary . I have had belt marks on TOP of the primary sheeves. Free rev , the belt goes 1/2 the belt thickness out of the sheeve.
Every belt I've broken has been due to me getting out of it on a WOT pull and then quickly getting back on it. Belt slacks and then probably gets pulled above the primary and out of it and breaks. Didnt wait long enough for it to back shift. Maybe my c to c is too close?

Belt goes 1/2 way out easily

That is what happened to mine last year....cut the belt clean like a knife.
