Here is mine with lettering, so I taking this as normal. Its the tension idlers causing this.
Have you ever had issues with snow/ice getting in there and causing problem?
I seem to get a lot of ice in there but so far no issues.
Pictures of said oil tank relocation?Ya I have changed 3 now. First one was a bitch as I didn't have the right tools with me. So just took way longer than it should have. Now that I carry the right tools its pretty simple. Moving the factory oil tank is the hardest part, the rest is easy. I moved my factory oil tank so I can change mine out in about 15 minutes.

That's a change.Well there was a bit more than just a oil tank relocation, was part of project lightweight Sidewinder.

That's a change. You running stage 3? You call it lightweight Sidewinder project, what are you seeing now? I did a belt change as an exercise in the shop using just basic tools I would take on the sled, modified what was needed to make it somewhat easy job to do. Though this was just in the shop, out in the field I could probably do it in about 45min. The only future change I will do is cut the oil pipes further back and install hoses, this will allow me to swing the oil tank out of the way better.
That is an excellent idea, next time she due for a service i'm going to switch over to cap screws.Another thing that might also make it easier is to get rid of the torx bolts that hold the tensioner cover on and replace with Allen head cap screws. Can use a balled Allen head then and not have to be 100% square to the bolt.
I think people go to the belt drive set up for light weight, easy of repairs in backcountry, and more gear ratio options . It would be cool if someone would make a belt drive kit with reverse. I would buy that.
If you use reverse then its not for you, I have owned a sled with reverse since 05, RT days for me and over the years it is not something I use, in fact hardly ever.So the belt drive a noticeable gain? Don’t think I’d be willing to give up reverse.
