Carlisle(spelling?), 0r 046 imo I ran the carlisle on my 07 as a spare didn't have any trouble with it. Have been running the 046 but I have spent a ton of time and money getting them to stay together. Gearing seemed to be the thing that helped the most.

another Question about the Carlisle belt is what does it do to the Rpm's my sled runs
7300 to 7500 on the 060 and 7500 to 7800 on the 046

they are similar to the 060 IMO. Stickier and little inconsistent when they get hotter. Just like the 060 if you ask me.

also, they tend to go BOOM!!! when the go to. no threads, just bang and then pieces everywhere...

Run the 046

I've used the 060, Carlisle XS801, and found them to have poor life - the Carlisle one being the worst. 700 miles on my current 046 with no problems, and this is on an 07 M1000 with a few goodies. I don't think the 060 is worth the extra $$$ in my opinion.

Where are you at? The 060 from my dealer in Edmonton was $150.

Red Deer when u show up to this dealer make sure you got the vasaline

Shim the secondary just so the sled starts to move at idle and your belt life will increase significantly. Use the stock A/C belt for the M1000.

For some reason the M1000 requires a tight belt for longevity and performance will increase, too.

m1000

i lowered gearing on my m1000 162 and have tried all three belts. The 046 hands down. 700 miles so far riding mountains. The XS is a close 2nd.

ODD?? Our book shows the XS 817 for the M-1000. lol

046 was better on my 07 but the 060 works better on the 09 in my opinion.

060 has worked best for me

I have run both of them so far this season but i think the 060 works better for where i am at. 3000-6000 ft. Also just for information Mtn. Motorsports is having a sale on their arctic cat belts right now. Not sure how long the sale will last.
