I’d much rather have the inside off my panel blown up than belt chunks come through the panel an connect with my leg. If you don’t like have those parts blown up then chain your belt sooner, but that might cost you some money by not squeezing the extra 50-100 miles out of it. $150 in parts is what it cost me, but I also bought a $22000 180hp 2stroke it’s not a cheap sport.Doo is really stepping up their game. Why only ding you $300 for a belt when you can add on a couple hundred more in parts.
Coming next year: the single use oil cap!
Turbo Thompson described perfectly!Can you describe the noise it made? In great detail
571Which belt are you running?
Belt had less than 200 miles on it. Pulling perfect rpm and no belt temp alarm. Not sure what else I could have done. Belt had just had a break and then 5 mins of running and boom.I’d much rather have the inside off my panel blown up than belt chunks come through the panel an connect with my leg.

Less than 200? That’s bad I’ve been getting 300-500 miles and not been happy. You might want to check your clutches and the area around your clutches to make sure nothing snagged that belt, it shouldn’t have blown that quick.Belt had less than 200 miles on it.

You don't say!I’d much rather have the inside off my panel blown up than belt chunks come through the panel an connect with my leg.
I’ve found on here there’s not much sympathy from anyone especially the ambassador, sorry this happened to you guys any wreck isn’t nice.You don't say!
Sorry, I didn't realize clutch covers are considered a sacrificial part now that needs replacing when you blow a belt.
I have blown many (lots) belts and some have had no extra damage, some have caused cranks to go out of phase, others have mangled clutch covers and blown out belly pans. This has been on all makes over my many years of riding. Clutch covers being sacrificial are better than having chunks tear flesh. Especially on a sled where the secondary clutch is only about 4 inches from your knee at times.You don't say!

Sure you can make a cover that may be re-useable (bulletproof?) but you will sacrifice something else like weight and which is what all of us snowmobilers seem to cry about most. Also the cover absorbing the blast still did its job by preventing damage to other components. Belt explosions that destroy the covers only do so in a small majority of belt failures but now that factory sleds come with as much power as mod sleds did 20 yrs ago there are bound to be more issues.Please explain how the cover being destroyed in the process protects the rider better than if it remains intact and reusable, because I'm clearly missing something here.
