Gates are good. Top dog with full warranty on it, but they are not exactly the same length and width of the OEM. But a lot cheaper!!

Strongest best lasting belt for them is the OEM 084 belt, best performing belt is the OEM 083 belt, it doesnt last as long though, aftermarket belts are cheaper but wont last like an 084 will

Yup, OEM 084 is what i run on both machines. Check your alignment, both secondary's were outta wack right from the dealer and i was going thru belts every 300km.

I bought the tool and fixed the alignment and have over 1200km per belt over the last few years on each machine.

-084 is the way to go. unfortunately when belts go they tend to take stuff with it. I aligned my clutches from factory and have 850 miles on the stock belt. mostly tight tree riding and the a fair amount of jumps and drops. i would recommend buying the tool and the shims to get it straight.
