I blew a belt at 95 mph on my o7 m1000, it ripped off some wires under the left foot well, now my back up beeper doesn't work and i need to know what else us in there? I also get a wrench light on when i put it in reverse... is this normal? Any help would be nice
Belt made a mess

happend to me on my 08 xfire 800. think its the reverse safety switch. $52
sorri to high jack the thread but what belt were you running?
Theres a cluster of wires running to the reverse servo motor and the reverse switch. It's pretty common for a belt to kill the alignment of the reverse switch. You also get the wrench light if you put it in reverse with a disconnected beeper. I'd enjoy the silence and deal with the wrench 
i was running the ultimax xs belt. had it over the break in point just thumbing it over a drift to get in the ditch and it went.
I'd say you got off pretty easy for hitting a drift/ditch at 95 mph!!!!
LOL...no kidding. A M-sled at 95 will blow belts. The belt gets to the bottom of the secondary and has no place else to go....so what happens?
If you want to run over 80 very often I would gear taller.....and run the Cat belt.

I don't know if you noticed but that was two different peeps there. One blew an unknown belt going 95. the other blew a ultimax xs belt going into the ditch.
Yeah thanks for all the unhelpful comments, i know why the belt blew, i wanted to know what the wires are up there and it seems only one person even came close to answering that for me

eliminate the shifter motor
The easy fix to prevent that from happening again the next time you blow a belt (and you will blow another belt) is to replace all the reverse stuff in the foot well with a Billet reverse shifter. The billet shifter replaces the motor and gearbox on the '07-08 DDs and LOSES 2 POUNDS!! Simple and bullet proof. Replaces 2.1 pounds with a 1 ounce kit for only $25. It will make the reverse buzzer and the R symbol in the gauge work the way you want them to work. PM or check out http://peakdesignworks.com
