Dayco Belts

[FanMan]

I ordered a couple Dayco 801XS belts in the Fall of 2007, now need to order a couple more. I called Dayco direct and they claim to have never heard of the XS belt! They now offer the HPX & the XTX belts. (This is for 2005 M7's) Anybody have some knowledge on these new belts?
Thanks

I believe Carlisle is the manufacturer for the xs801 belt.

Yea the carlisle makes the XS801 which cross references with the Dayco HPX5031, but now Dayco makes a more "extreme" belt yet in the XTX5031 and I didn't know how it compares with the Carlisle XS801. I just ordered a couple of the 801's as I'm clutched to that belt and don't want to have to mess around with the clutches anymore if the XTX belt is quite a bit different compound. As it is throwing alot less weight in the primary over the stock Arctic Cat belt as the XS seems to be a softer coumpound and alot less slip in the clutch sheaves. Thanks for the reply.
