Does anybody know if CMX makes a belt drive kit That replaces the chain case for the Nytro mtx? Or If there is other company's make kits for converting to belt drive. I put in a MPI supercharger this season and looking to drop weight in the front and a drive system than can handle the power of boost over the long run.

It would be kinda tough, since the chaincase is integrated into the bulkhead plate... Yamaha kinda eF'd us there. Can't extend it or drop and roll it either...

I talked to CMX at the Snow show in SLC a few years ago now and they said that they have done them on an apex which is slightly different then the Nytro but not by much.
I dont know if that was just a sales pitch or not becauce i never followed up with it once i found out that their kit was $2500 for the belt drive unit. Their unit I am sure is worth it but that was a little high for my taste. Looking at the kit first hand it is definitly well put together
Tapex_07 Your right in stock form for sure but there is a nytro over on snowest that i just came across. the guy copied the bulkhead pattern on flat stock Aluminum plates and made is own bulkhead and droped and rolled the chain case. Beautiful done sled and the guy obviously had some major money wraped up into to it. It said it was from Avid so i dont know if he went to a different style chaincase as in poo or AC. or if robbie over at Avid machined it exactly like the nytro just dropped and rolled

My only concern would be the loss of strength using flat 6061. Yamahas dieacast bulkhead seems like it would be a lot more rigid. I have no proof to back this up.
I thought the bulk heads were vacuumed molded to be 20% lighter and as strong or if not stronger than 6061. Just what I have Hurd don't know if it really stronger.

If you take the track shaft out and then stand on the running boards, those pieces flex an awful lot.Nikolai said:
Though it would be easy to say that they flex less than regular sheet would...
