No but its been parked in 3 different dealers with belt issues now..
That may be the problem. Probably wouldn't hurt to check the angle of the dangle out!

Maybe coming in to this real late and I have read every post so far but things just dont add up.
I have never bought a sled from Dave, but he has serviced my 1000 a few times with cooper. I now drive a turbo yamaha but if I had any issues my suzuki kind quad, polaris sportsman, or ski doo skandic SWT, it would go to dave. This guy is honest.
I am not saying who is right or wrong, but when you barely know a dealer, and they really take care of you every time you go in there, you find it hard to believe sometimes that they could do this to a customer without something else happening.
My M1000 was having some issue cutting out. They couldnt figure it out so they started by taking out a ecu from a brand new sled. Take for a short drive and still happens.
Then swap out the plugs and power valve controller from this brand new sled. drive it, same thing.
They then take out the whole harness from new machine and cooper starts taking my harness out. I am drinking coffee watching (it is under warranty yet). The harness had a wire showing. They did all this extra work and didnt charge me a dime.
I didnt know them from Adam either. From then on, they have bent over backwards for any issues.
Not saying this didnt happen, Im just saying when someone has such great luck with a dealer, and all their friends as well. It is hard to hear that this happened and that maybe there is more to the story.
Dont be hating!

Im done with Saying anything about them im just stoked its at a dealer that wants to fix my sled not find reasons not to. I know cat isn't out to get me and wants my sled working right on the snow asap. Say what you want about previous history i didnt say bad dealer i sad bad dealer service. I really dont think he approaches every claim like he did mine, i think he just really didnt want to work on mine. Lol

FWIW If he sent pictures of reeds to the factory he went out of his way to try and bone you.
Since we're on the east coast I haven't seen any 800 belt problems yet (ground is still bare, haven't been able to ride a single day this season)

I bought a MBRP can from Wasilla AC. It does not void your warranty. If any dealer tried to derail my warranty by taking pictures of some basic aftermarket, I would never use that dealer again. That's going out of your way to put the hurt on a customer that just dropped thousands on a sled.

I live in summit county colorado and live at 9000 ft.. I ride from 10000 to 12000 ft. I have 600 miles on M800 and on my 3rd belt. Only way I can get my belt to not pull cords is to not pin it! Every time I hold the thing to the bar and try and have some fun my clutches get so hot you could smoke crack on them. I ride around with knife in my front pocket cause I use it so much. I'm so sick of it, this sled is worse than my 09' skidoo that I put almost 5000 miles on. My dealer told me I should 200 miles was good for a belts.. hahahah.. but that was from the parts counter guy. I have to baby my sled to make my belts last, what a joke. Should of bought a PRO!
I would kick the parts guy in the nutz,
belts should wear out not blow up.

Mav 800x, I shot you a PM. We've got two 12's without belt issues, maybe we can compare them & figure out what's different on yours.
I work in Scummit, I'm here every day.

I'd love to kick someone in the nutz over this sled, all I'm doing is kicking myself in the ballz for switching to cat when my dealer switched to polaris. Should of known when I bought the damn thing that I was going to get no support from them. So I'm left to waiting like everyone else for cat to fix it.
BCL.. would love to compare sleds to find out why my sled eats belts
I rode my buddy's 11' M8 last yr and loved it so much I decided to switch brands, not sure I made the right decision anymore. Couldn't even get a spare belt till mid Jan, but you guys know all about that. I usually never have anything to say on here, but I'm just so frustrated that I went from one belt eater (09' XP) to another. WTF!

Sorry Cedric... now that I know it's you... yer skrud bud... can't help ya!!!:face-icon-small-ton
There's some folks running different belts on this sled too... might want to grab one of them & save a few bucks as a backup as well.
hopefully we can get it figured out, I'm not in love with the sled... but for how we ride... the thing does feel great in the air (we'll do some "continuing testing" on that theory asap!!:face-icon-small-win) I'm staying in breck this weekend btw, we'll see if we can get out.

Thanks Kaleb, I was trying to stay on the DL..
I actually bought a dayco belt from Bikeman to see if it ran any cooler like he claims.. I just haven't had time to break it in.. I hate riding trail and it's such a pain in the as% to change belts on this thing (I'd like to punch the engineer in the face that made that design) that I don't want to change my belt unless I have too.
So I need a 10mm and a ratchet, then take the bolt off, remove the end cap, then use a big flat washer and screw it back in all the way to spread the clutches to change the belt then unscrew that bolt and remove the washer then reinstall the end cap with the correct shims and then screw the bolt back in to tighten the clutch back up. Simple.
Cause who needs to make quick belt changes when you have a TCL holding everything together in-line and making everything run cooler and last longer. :light: Brilliant!
