Pull that POS aluminum piece out. If your worried about heat coming on to your boot area duct tape the lower holes where your boot is. Works great-3000km on it.

I was thinking about taking a piece of aluminum then drilling a few holes through the bottom of the aluminum plate and riveting it down if that makes sense.
Why bother? Leave it off. And check the clutching on that sled. That belt blew because of heat build up. That means the clutching is off. Unless you were doing a bunch of full throttle runs one right after another, the belt should be ok. I've never blown a belt on my Yammies. RX-1. Apex, Nytro. All are boosted.

A guy goes out and spends $11,000 on a new snowmobile, has an extended warranty, and YAMAHA and the dealer are still hosing him. WTF! What good is your warranty if you have to kick and scream to get anything half a$$ covered? Your warranty is only as good as your dealer! And since you just had it at the dealer 300 miles ago for the 500 mile service, they should be standing up for you and saying to YAMAHA, this sled has been properly maintained and damages need to be cover under waranty, including LABOR!
Good luck and if you need a stock secondary I have one I'd sell rather cheap being that I run the team! PM me if interested.
Thanks

Okay? Because I want a dry foot I should own a APEX? Out of all of my snocross race sleds I've had, none of them soaked my feet so why should my "hardcore super snocross replica" soak my foot? Hardcore used very loosely!

Mine blew with just over 500 miles on it. That little piece of metal ripped a hole in the belly pan.

The problem here is with the belt construction. The 8DN belt is extremely hard and does have a tendency to come apart like that. A frequently observed issue with those belts is actually delamination -- the rubber on the outside of the cords will all flake off all the way around, and SUDDENLY. If it happens to catch on something, like this piece that is now bent, then I can see it shredding the belt and possibly causing damage to the sheaves. In most cases (but far from all), a belt that has delaminated can still be used, but I definitely wouldn't push one hard. I had a few of those belts delaminate on me before I switched to GATES belts -- bought two of them about 4 years ago, still running the first one.

There was nothing left of the blown belt. Myself along with Luke have had many blown belts. All that was left of that belt was the internal cords. How can Yamaha pay for the parts but not know what caused it? There was no rubber on the sheeves, the few chunks that was left of the belt looks even from side to side. If it's a poor belt construction wouldn't most people see this same issue on their belts? What is another belt that seems to solve this problem if it's the belt? The dealer should atleast check c to c and offset on the clutches. My $.02.

The belt blew due to being too hard.
Got wiped clean by the cords.
Why wouldn't it be?
Lots do.
ANY belt can be blown up under the right conditions. That being said, Yamaha belts are very easy to blow. Any belt with SOFTER RUBBER will *probably* be better due to being more pliable. There are also some characteristics to look for in the replacement belt... 1) I don't like belts with the notches on the outside. Catch one of those notches on something -- for example, when the belt deflects during slow-down, and that can instantly delaminate it, and being delaminated can easily lead to an unwinding of the cord. 2) Be sure that there is some kind of woven fabric all the way to the outside edge of the belt -- none of the 1/8" thick chunk of non-reinforced rubber on the very outside. The woven fabric will help to hold it together if it happens to contact something. Remember that it isn't about looking fancy, it is about holding together. As I've mentioned, GATES belts have worked well *for me*, but keep in mind that I have a very different machine, and there is no guarantee that what is good for one is good for another.
I think that kind of goes without saying when changing clutch faces...

X2 And 800 miles is not brand new. Not the sleds fault, yamahas, or the small aluminum plates fault. Who does that leave?

Ahh man come on...first off it's a poor design leaving a piece of aluminum unfastened in this area. Second off, it's all about keeping the customer happy or have we gotten away from this whole concept. I totally disagree with you about Yamaha helping me out with this....you spend this much money on a sled and of course they should take care of their customers.
