1100, 1200 miles and it's time to change them

I think I'll stick with oem and support my local dealer.

Just an FYI you can still support your dealer by buying any aftermarket product.

I am wondering if leaving them on in the off season shortens the life. The manual says to remove, maybe thats why. I inspected mine before the first ride and was impressed, but it puked in 100 miles from there. I was quite surprised.

Its not good to leave them on in the offseason. Will actually leave a mark in the clutches. I ran my original for 2 years without taking it off. (about 5500 miles or more. Still have it for a spare, works great

2240km on my first belt... Its funny because I was bragging to my brother in law (doo man) about how I've never changed a belt...Five hours later that day-boom...completely grenaded. All that was left was about 12 cords.

Ultimax xs for me, buy a new one every season, and use the past season belt for a spare, but where I sled its all cross country, So I dont risk it, it may be expensive but its piece of mind.
