    Belt Break-in

    What is everyone's thoughts on breaking in the belt.
    We do 3 heat cycles or I should say we try and do 3 heat cycles
    Run it fairly hard get the belt temperature up and the let it cool down

    What is everyone else thoughts?

    I agree Josh...when I blew my belt at SM on the way to Middlegate ..we had the hammer down and that belt lasted another 2 years till we were at SM again on our way back from Cold Springs Station and blew another belt...had to be trailered back to camp this time... Lance was impressed on where the belt ended up...lol...hopefully SM will be better to me this year...

    I'm impressed with the latest development of belt heat monitoring. First generation measures the CVT air temp....now there is a gauge that infrareds the actual belt temperature. I have this great hunch that company will be a vendor on here soon...lol

    Sad to say even with my temp gauge I hammer down from day one..the gauge let's me know when it's to late..

    I think it more critical when running in the sand for Belt breakin...sand and mud is so much harsher on belts then the desert or rocks..even though broke both belts in the desert I think the majority of the damage had been done earlier in the sand

    I learned the hard way that you need to break in the belts. I have broke 2 because I didn't break them in .
