it's either that or an alignment problem. I have an '08 146 that has never blown a belt since the clutch issues were addressed. if it's been blowing belts since it was new, that means the primary is getting hot and transferring heat to the crank stub and most likely is running low on isoflex in the pto side bearing.....tick tock.

they geared them down and has seem to help but either way you will be happy with 146 or 154

I like that....."never been smoked in!!!!"

Mine has a Muff-Pot (included) and sometimes that gets a little hot and creates smoke but that's a very "professional smoke" with garlic, onions, spices and such!

Compression both sides at 125#, crank run-out, PTP side, 0.004", JC Custom venting, Ralph's Split Second Performance shaved head, SLP vents in airbox, skid protector, 441 ramps which are awesome for torque, 1 mm-over rollers, gerry can full of purple premium, short or big windshield, BRP's special instrument package with altimeter, etc., heavy duty rear bumper and special LED taillight, all updates done and not a belt eater.

Very well maintained and for the last year it was wife driven. Just over 3000 miles, all in mountain powder! At $6800, I'll deliver to Edmonton.

Touche......
