Smoked my belt today

[the_real_wild1]

I smoked my belt today. Now when leaving from a stop I get a shudder. I haven't taken it apart to check the sheaves but expect I just need to replace the belt. Of course I will verify this. Anyways, what is everyones opinion on stock belt vs aftermarket? I usually go with factory but haven't bought one yet for the 800. 2012 max xt 800 with silverbacks.

Saw a guy on a commander smoke his belt in a mud hole on sunday, looked like he was three sheets to the wind, Drove into where 2 other SxS just got pulled out, We made him sit till the rest of us got through before we got him out, His bud on a rzzr 900 jumped in the same hole. We left. Belts will only take so much.
