Are primary rollers all good? Seems more are posting issues with them now.
Are all these clutch parts now from china or something YAM?

Rollers are good .
Under what loads are you guys blowing belts ? Is it WOT runs or just normal trail riding ? Also are any of you guys running tunes ?

Exactly rockerdan, the reason I bought the yami over cat was I didn't trust cat clutches. They switched to TEAM clutches for a reason. Are the cats blowing belts?

The cats have had their own issues, including recall on clutches. Yamaha clutching was also a selling point for me when initially choosing Sidewinder over T Cat.

Let's not panic. This is not an epidemic. More of an isolated situation.

Right , the first we've heard about this problem. Sounds like a dealer response huh. Wish Yamaha would step up and address this issue .

I assume you're riding in deep power?

Not the last belt that blew and never blew a belt on Apex in the deep .

Check out this thread. Is it possible that these sleds have alignment issues ?

Sometimes a dealer has thier limitations.
Did you try PMing "Snagnos" or "Nos-pro"? Forget me if I butched up thier names.

I have been following their posts closely, they are a wealth of information.

My sled is stock riding on a groomed trail. Last year it blew right after a wide open run for a short distance. The second blew on a long run down a groomed trail at 70 MPH. This one I was at 30 MPH I hit the throttle and it disintegrated.
