Who changes a belt on a Yamaha? 5 turbos and never changed a belt(except for the hell of it one time). And that includes pulling Poos,Doos,Cats, and Yammies out.

Good point. But last year when I was testing clutch setups I had the belt off and on more than a 2012 M8...lol.

Stop and think though, we are all spun up on changing a belt when if we had that other sled we would be talking about changing an engine!

talked to Neil and they have had very good luck with the 8j belts. I'm going to run that until I have issues I guess.

Most guys have there belt off after every ride just to keep there clutch faces clean.

Change to 8dn and have no dust in side panel. :face-icon-small-hap

Only one complaint so far... we'll just have to wait until the stock rubber band has been beat on a bit.:noidea:

Exactly what I'm thinking. Talked to Prince George and he seemed to think now matter how much you shimmed it it would be out of whack? So 8j until i have issues and then we'll hammer the 8d belt and figure it out.

Matt @ MPI suggested to me a 8dn set up properly, the shop doing my turbo install is switching it out for me, I will report back with my results.

Must be speaking to Matt @ Meatballs & Pasta Inc....Matt @ Mountain Performance Inc. hasn't had any issue with the stocker in over a year of testing according to them....If you take good care of clutch like many of us do you will have good stock belt performance.

No, Matt at Mountain performance inc. Why do you always have to shoot your mouth off when people are suggesting things that might be a improvement to stock. From what I have read about the 14 Viper this is an issue and as stated I will report back with what I find. Is your Viper even running boost?

Deep Powder Guy · Dec 13, 2014

2014 possibly correct 2015 no problems so far...What does boost have to do with it ? Like anything you set your clutching accordingly.

Tomkat700 · Dec 13, 2014

Boost because you keep saying Matt @MPI is your source.

Deep Powder Guy · Dec 13, 2014

All Good

I have DPG on ignore so I only see these quoted...and wish I didn't. I call shenanigans, even on the Yamaha turbo demo rides they had belt issues so why would anybody from MPI say any different? Do a Google search MOST Viper owners with over 200 miles on there sleds now run the 8DN, Ulmers fastest clutch kit comes with it. Or just believe DPG.

Damn did I just feed the troll again?

100 miles and the orange belly pan is now black, gonna switch out my 8dn break in nice and smoothly with a trail ride and see how it works out. 8jp is sh!t belt.

Yep, and you may have to take your primary cover and spring off and clean the belt dust out of the bushings.

You just have to ignore his BS about the belt.. Back in august before the 2015 even were delivered to the dealers this space cadet was already dogging the stock belt.
