[bk720]

Does anyone know the Gates belt part number that would cross over to the Factory Polaris belt? I am looking at trying one of them carbon fiber belts.

Anyone using them with feedback?

hmm I am getting 2 diffident numbers from 2 sites. I was given the number 45c4553.

What is the difference from the 2 parts numbers?

 

[BILTIT]

45c is for the newer axys chassis (cannot recall which model) different sheave angle if I recall.

44c4553 is the replacement for the Polaris -1115 belt. I am trying the gates carbon on my 04 proxr right now, looks promising but only 100 hard miles on so far. Should putting some gruelling miles on this weekend though.

Thanks for the reply.

OK so I need a 44c4553 Gates belt to fit on my 2013 Pro correct?

 

[BILTIT]

Yes, thats correct. Cheapest i could find them (due to conversion/shipping for us up here in canada) is from rockauto.

 

[Chrisco]

I sell them also. 45c4553 $196.00

 

[bk720]

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. Chris, you have the part number 45c4553 listed again and BILLTIT has 44c4553 for he part number. Again we have 2 different part numbers for the belt i need. What one is it lol?

 

[Rhodesie]

44c4553 is for the pro chassis.

I ended up paying $125CAD/EA when i ordered 2 from rockauto after all conversion and shipping, cheapest i could find.

Running one on my 04 proxr with 910 currently and so far its good but the test will be this weekend. If it lasts i will buy a few more and put one on my 11 rmk also.

I've tried running the gates belt on my 15 pro turbo, and they don't seem to last. They seem very brittle. Sucks paying more for the Polaris belt, but I've had way better luck with factory belts. I seem to pull the gates belts apart. Never really fray them, just chunks fall off. Even had one have the top 1/4 peel right off.

Ran the 45C-4553 on my AXYS for last 1/2 of last season and first 9 rides this season. Worked good until I hour glassed it when stuck in the trees. I am finding it may be a bit hard on clutch sheaves though as mine are really starting to get grooves from it.

Im using the 44C4553 on my turbo pro. No problems so far. Gates make 2 belts for your sled. Make sure you get the 44C4553 and not the 44G4553. The C is a stronger belt. When you get your new belt throw it in a sink full of soapy water and scrub the sides of the belt with a scotch bright pad.

Thanks I'll have to check which one I've been buying. I do the soapy water thing already.

 

[bk720]

Thanks guys.

What does the soapy water and scrub with a scotch bright pad do?

Thanks guys.

Cleaning off the release agent they use when manufacturing the belt.

I did not know this nor have I ever tried this. I will definitely try this on my new belt.
