Anyone running gates or dayco belts on an xm?

Ski-doo/brp don't make their own belts.... Mbl belt co. In the usa (mitsuboshi belt company) makes them, from what i can find.

I'm running the gates C12 49C4266, have about 1000km on it. One thing I noticed is a little more dust and WOT rpm's can sometime fluctuate. 1yr warranty so not bad. Have to adjust by deflection and not by lower belt cog sitting on secondary lip. I haven't checked it since before last ride, maybe in a couple weeks to see how wear is going.

I run the stock belt. If I had to go with something else I'd run the gates carbon fiber. I run it in the sxs and have had good luck since I changed over. Plus they have warranty on them. 2 years for utv/atv and one year on sleds.

Gates will stand behind their product, I blew one of the carbon fiber belts early last winter and I had a brand new one in a little over a month. Just keep your receipts just in case.
