I was told by my dealer that skidoo recommends the 383 belt instead of my 166 I have always run? are they smoking crack? It goes onto a 2003.5 summit rev. They are not the brightest lights on the block so I thought I would ask you all. THanks.
383 or 166 belt for rev?
- Thread starter goofy
- Start date
166,288,and 383 will all fit. The ? is how much do you want to pay. 
Is the 383 wider than the 166?
The 383 is suposed to be same dimensions as 377 belt.
It' a little wider and I believe a little shorter.
Harder compound than 377.
Wider gets you istant hookup down low. shorter gets you full shiftout and better adjustment range on belt deflection.
I'm running 377 on my 04 summit 159, still looks great,I love it.
If I ever wear it out I'm going to try the 383, it's cheaper.

Will I need to adjust my clutches at all if I switch from 166 to 383? Team secondary, I can open it up a bit to let it set a little lower.
I am happy with my clutches now, so should I even consider changing when I need a new belt?

Would you stay away from the 383?
Far!
.....F#$%%^ garbage!
I was told that the 377 was too long and hard for the REV clutches? Can you give me some more feedback on it? Also, Do I have to do any changes with running the 377? or can I just run with it?

the 377 is more expensive but at least after it is broken in you will have consistent rpms for the conditions....with the 383 the rpms may be all over the place and then finally the belt blows to smithereens. can't take long pulls.
Thanks for all your help.
However, I'm still confused to what I would actually have to do to run the 377. Is what you're saying is that the 377 is OK to run on a 04 REV?
377 belt is a kick arse belt, will last long time.
if you wrapped a tape around the 377 you would find it about 3/16 of an inch shorter, therefore it would be tighter in the clutches. So to keep the belt from being too tight, you re-adjust the belt deflection so the belt is tight enough that you would see how the track slowly spins like in the video.

this is a personal quote to me from dyanamo joe... I went with the 377....I would reccmond that. I love it so far. Also, My local dealer, Jaycox Powersports, sells them for 110. They are on ebay so look them up as well. They sell all belts cheaper, not just the 377...but I would put on the 377....
