QD belt poll

How many people have blown QD belts?
If you have please explain the circumstances and mileage.

If you have stripped more than 1 please comment on how many and what mileage.

And if you originally voted no failure and experience a failure please comment.

You're going to catch flak for not making the voters public...

I just voted. 310 miles and missing about 8" of cogs of my QD belt. Bone stock 800 Pro 163" track. Thank heavens for HFRPP tools and a spare belt i had on me. Thanks for setting up the poll!

What happened when it failed?

Was this caused by a on throttle landing or long hill climb? What exactly happened? Were you able to limp home?

Thanks for your input

Yep, I winter in the Snowy's, normally I'd have damn near double that on by now but the snow has been very thin. Believe we're at 44% of normal right now, not good.

I was carrying a spare belt and the tools. I kept riding. I have about 100 on my new belt now. The second belt seemed to shed a lot more than the first one. No hard landings, just a long pull. But some pretty rough rutted terrain getting up there.

Just under 500 miles, 100 mile break-in and no issues.

Blew mine at 350 miles in sicamous. Crusty snow and long pulls with lots of traction. I think it's from the top sprocket getting hot. Changed the belt in 25 min with no alignment tools.

400 miles (broke in hard), 0 issues, polaris clamp. Adding Blow Hole this week to help keep temps down, just in case.
