Just blew my first belt (stock 8DN) @ 2,100 miles - was pulling cords out of the secondary sheaves for a good 20-30 minutes. They were jammed in there so good that it kept the sheaves over half way open.
Anyway - thought that many miles for the type of riding we do was pretty darn impressive.
Wondering if perhaps the Ultimax belts would leave less of a mess after they grenade??
Any thoughts on this?

3300 kms on stock belt. Checked width with a pair of callipers and still like new. Not too much hard riding so I guess it will last longer then a hard ran, heated up belt.
The 8dn's have lasted the longest for me. I change mine about 1500 miles, a lot easier than being stuck on a hillside pulling cords out. If you shop around you can buy the Yam belts for $45.00 all day long. Heat seems the demise of all the belt manufactures so venting increases the life.

In Canada a Yamaha belt is $92.00
I blew my second Dayco HPX. It lasted for 3 days, 400 miles. Yes they have a warranty. They want $15 for mailing, it cost me $8.00 to mail it there. So I will have 2 brand new Dayco HPX belts, which were crap to start with, and will be crap again. Maybe they'll be good enough for an Enticer?

maybe I should be a Canadian belt dealer!

Figure out what it would cost to mail a belt to Canada, post it here, and maybe it can be a little sideline for you.
