Fred, it depends on how hard one rides as to belt life expectancy!!!��

anyone who rides with me will agree I beat the ever living p*ss out of my sleds. normally I would have triple the miles by now but ive logged some on another 850 aswell as my freeride, also have been dealing with an injury. have only been riding one day per week

yah 1000km is not great but its not aweful. I am used to getting 2000-2500 on the XM. and even then they never grenade just start pulling cords or wearing out. this was extremely violent and happened as a less than ideal time LOL

Same here, mine was so violent it bent belt guard to hell and took out reeds from over rev, shot me over the hood like a torpedo.. A belt ussally gives you a heads up on its way out, mine was brand new in the morning after a good break in.. That's not a g4s fault

Belts that I blew in the past you could ussally have cords and strings slowly comming apart, giving you a ticking noise or hear actual pieces of belt breaking off or vibration, but this belt was just like a greande going off, echoed in the valley they said, still finding chunks imbedded in sled
