who runs the 046 on their 1000?

[vdog0531]

thinking about using the 046's this year on my 1000. anyone else doing this? downsides? opitions?

i bought my 09 in march and rode it for 400 miles. i went through one belt which isn't bad but next season i'll be running in the whole season and undoubtily will destroy some belts so for the cost difference, i'm thinkin about using the 046. i have the adjustable cutlers weights so i can add a little weight for the difference in belt.

only motor mod is a can

Maybe the Carlisle belts could be a option for you. Carlisle offers a one year warranty on all snowmobile belts.

P.P.

Run nothing but the 046.........2200 miles same two belts. One has about 400-500 miles on it now and the other has all the rest.

x 2.
The 060 works well for the short time it lasts as long as you let it cool, not get too hot. For spring riding it gets so hot and sticky it starts robbing rpm. Most I was getting was 300 miles on a 060, even with M8 gearing in my M1000. The 046 is a much more consistant belt and much cheaper. When you run out of free 060's from your dealer, go with the 046's. My opinion.

060 stretching

Did you guys find the 060 stretched lots?? I had 500 miles on the original 060 belt and it was stretched 3/4". Was anyone running into this on the 046??

I've run the 046's, the 060's & the xs817. The 046's burnt like a bad apple pie, but the carlisle belts worked great for me this season, good r's, consistent build quality (better than the cats IMO)
I've had 046's & 060's last one or two days, have yet to get less then 400 miles on a carlisle.

046 doesn't like boost above 6 lbs

Started with 060, got to hot and sticky, inconsistent on repeated climbs.
046 more consistent, revs higher than 060.

After gaining some power(rpms) I tried the XS817, and I am very happy with it, no problems whatsoever. 58/62 gearing, 85grms primary weights, 42/36 helix, 153" Powerclaw.

I ran the 060 that came with my sled when new.
The sled was 200 RPM shy, and the clutches ran real hot... I pulled a cord at about 200 miles and switched to the 046.
I added venting at the same time... The 046 brought my R's right up to where they needed to be.
I usually lead and break trail, and I get about 800 miles to a belt.
For a non agresive rider I think the 060 is better because it grabs better at low RPM.
If I ride around too slow, the 046 slips and builds heat.
If I ride it hard, I have much better luck with the 046 belt.
The 046 does not work as well until heated up.

Pulled the 060 before the first mile and put on a 046. 1200 miles before it blew on my M1200. Its all about breakin it in right, good venting and clutch alignment oh yah and not like Slediot pinning it from a standstill every time..lmao

72-7400 is stock.
I have heard 7200 builds more tourque, but my sled feels better closer to 7400... Mine runs pretty consistant at about 7360.
