    Belt Rub

    Saw a thread on rzrforum bout the clutch belt rubbing on the clutch cover. The belt rubs on the edge of the exhaust duct on the inner cover. There is a product that keeps the belt from rubbing on the edge causing excessive heat and damage to the belt.
    After seeing the thread, I checked mine. there was a lot of wear right on the edge of the exhaust duct.
    Might explain a couple of broken belts I had.
    Anybody else hear of this?

    here is a link to the product:

    Well it would be good to get one, but Leo has a point, the manufactures should step up and back there product.

    I had a 08 KTM motorcycle , had about 500-700 miles on it, and the valve cover bolt striped out, took it over to Fator's KTM , manufacture covered all cost, and I was the second owner, I wish KTM made SXS's

    When I got to St Anthony, I took my dremel and smoothed out the area where my belt was hitting. Seemed to work, I did not see any more wear in that area.
    Still may install the G-force product though.
