Anyone had any luck or tried a Dayco belt ?

Just curious if anyone's tried or had any luck with a Dayco belt on there 850 . I have not had a belt last longer than 600km for me , even with the updates and updated belts on my 17 . Bought a Dayco to give it a shot !

We run them on our 850 rentals, so far no issues

Over 50 bucks cheaper does add up

That's where I just got it from! See how it holds up to 5 more days of Eagles snow

Just make sure to keep the deflection up, right at cord line

Well unfortunately that belt only lasted about 60km . Broke it in nicely on the trail up Eagles , let it cool at the cabin for half an hour then , then putter to the test . Had the deflection said pretty well right at the cord line, in other words the lower valley ribs in the belt just a hair above flush with the clutch .

Did you blow any belts last year? Is it better or worse this year?

Still going through them at the same rate as last year , even with all the updates done .

Mir sure your not slipping belt in secondary, last time we were at Eagles, we looked at a few 850s at the cabin and each one had rubber deposits on bottom of secondary.. Quick indication belt is slipping and needs heavier secondary spring..

Since i I did the heavier spring, able to pull a 47 helix now as well.. Much quicker acceration
