14 m8000 belt

[Parfetts]

Just curious to see how many km / miles guys are getting on the new 14's. 200 miles on mine and it went today. Been on polaris for the last few years and it seems a bit quick. Maybe clutches are out. Thanks in advance.

Man that sucks, you should be getting waaaaay more miles out of belt than that. I have just over 1000km on my belt (084) and it still looks good.

540 MILES on my belt on my 2014 m8.

That's real quick. I got a 12' 800 and they were supposed to be burners... Have 3300 kms and on second belt... Changed first one at 1600 just cause thought I should. Still looked new. Yesterday was first ride with 14' clutching. Seems to run cooler but other than that no diff. But 200kms is quick! Even if not broke in easily....

Did you re-gear your sled aswell? I'm just waiting until my dealer has more clutches in stock.

Nope. Just changed spring to yellow one... Engages at lower rpm. Seems to help with trenching. That's it! Ride it like I stole it and no belt issues.

I have 500 and my buddy has 700 miles and neither of us have had issues

I've snow checked a 14' 162 m8000 and blew my first belt at 215 miles, it sucks too because the arctic cat 084 belts are $260 a piece I'm going to wrap the y pipe and the 8" of the pipe that's bare see if that helps a bit

Get the alignment checked in that. Sounds like it might be out.

My son completely blew up a belt at 120 miles, didn't have to worry about removing it, it was laying in the bottom of the belly pan! Worst I have ever seen 20 plus years of riding.

Have 300 miles on HighCountry 800 - just got back from Revy trip and did 200 hard miles there on 083 belt and still looks like new.

1000 km on first belt on my 13 M800 LTD and still looks like brand new. My friend has 2000 km on his on his 2012 M800. He blew a belt with less than 300 km on after new clutch install. Got new clutch and blew a belt within 50 km. Super hot clutches... Same with mine after clutch change. Super hot clutches but no blown belt at least.

Over 300 mile on my 14 proclimb 8000 no issues yet belt looks really good and hasn't gotten hot enough to smell rubber yet

Just witnessed one blow up on a '14 m8000. 170miles. Completely shredded. We put a 083 on it see how that works
