    Anyone else breaking panels ?

    Having a "cold spell" here .. and by "cold" i mean maybe -10 C at the most, so not really that cold went out for a gentle ride because I'm too afraid to ride it hard until the belt issues are sorted out.. didn't hit anything, didn't roll the sled, didn't jump it, didn't do anything exciting...

    Belt issues on the 850

    Yeah is my guess as well. Although my buddy's sled showed 8491 and he never blew a belt I'll reset mine and ride again and check my max rpm
