from the other thread
the belt shown above is off of a buddies of mine, if it happened durring a climb then he was begging for it as the other pic i will post here shows how much snow there was. nobody is going to be able to give any real feed back on the belts this early in the season. i would account the three belt issues that i have seen including this one so far to lack of dealer knowledge on set up, running the sled on a sled lift with the belly pan rubbing on the bottom of the belt. if you look closely at the outside cogs of the belt in the picture it at least appears that they are rubbed off or ground down in the same area as which the inside cogs have the issue.
obviously not enough snow to be climbing ANYTHING

With the snow conditions in the pic. Does any one think a bush or sage brush got in belt drive threw footwell or chain case plug hole???? I hope there isn't a problem with belt drive but I think this post is getting to much attention for one picture!!!!! Lets wait and see mid December or January when we actually have real snow and miles!!!!!!!! On multiple sleds I'm sure some belts will take a dump but last year I dealt with three chaincase problems two Xp chains snapped one 500 miles one 1200 miles and lets not start on diamond drive problems from early gen m series. The other was a drain plug fell out of a 10 dragon. It is a dumb deal burned up tensioner and had to drive sled out and take apart another and swap part to get out. So belts will break and chaincases have problems too. It's a sled in my opinion what sled has ever not had problems.

Im glad this happened. Its keeping everyones mind off what can will work with a power addiction head, how to install a tether, what wrap should I get, how to remove warning stickers, dash bags, tunnel bags, hand guards, oh and rear bumpers.
Thank you snowest for taking away the perf/mod section....this is what were left with.

Snowmobiler, the only guy to put a light twist to this haha
Well I just gotta say that the 1" wide belt on my Harley has 30k miles on it and I ride it like I stole it. There is no tentioner on it. Im not worried. I think people are over thinking this sh!t. Its like the pleague. Think possative guys and gals. It hasnt even snowed yet and people are already having issues with their brand new sleds. Go figure.

Tudizzle,
Not talking about YOU in my post when I asked when/where/how...so not sure why you've taken offense here.
The FB post did not have the info in the comments when I looked at it... His follow up comment was posted later. I'm not in the habit of making "flat out lies".
I invite the FB poster to put up more photos in this thread to discuss their issues...that is what the forum is for.
The sleds on the Factory Demo tour were production sleds... after the tour, they were released to some of the western dealers as well. I've heard from one of our readers today that one of these demo sleds that was taken to the dealer after 1200 or so miles with the factory tour, had some stripped teeth on it.
Like I said in this post
Seems to be a touchy subject. Unfortunate that you've received threatening emails... so did I... from other members that accused me of deleting your thread.
Yes please stop jumping to conclusions!
Baffles me why Snowest would want to try and push away a potential issue. Hopefully it was just a defective belt and only on a few of them. Now there is a report of two more stripped belts....or is he lying too?

I made the post you are talking about
YOu posted this am that we knew nothing about the sled...when it had been posted the night before?
Personally I think the stand up thing would have been to not try and immediately discredit the post...but you threw a lot of what if's but never once said that it looked like a failed Polaris belt. Then another mod steps in and says that it doesn't even look like a Polaris. You were sitting on the thread....did it look like a Polaris to you? Did you speak up?
Yes you did not flat out deny it...but seems like you went along way to discredit it. Your clever with your words...have you been watching Trump speak lately?
If a sled left the demo with stripped teeth/cogs on a belt and Polaris did not even know about...how do we know what kind of condition the others are in. Maybe nobody has even checked or noticed?
Interestingly I started the same thread on several forums...not one of them turned into the chit show that this is.....a tone that you set.
my guess is a dealer or log bent the under belly....brace should be a simple fix
