Over 500 kms on mine and no issues. I like the idea of changing a belt as opposed to replacing a chaincase, chain and gears. I'm riding a turbo xp...

I heard 2nd hand that there may be some problems with idler support? Anyone running the C3 belt with an Avid chaincase?

I ran the CMX on an 1150 cat. It worked great as long as you changed the brake pads out twice a year.

I've been on the fence with this one. I want to see some dyno numbers! The CMX boys do a "drill dyno", but that doesn't mean much-it was done on two very different sleds/chassis/skids.

Had the proto type last year and 400 miles on it with a 860 with 174.
Moved it over to 2010 and only 100 miles this year but with that i have not touched it on either sleds.
I broke chains before with less miles and so far haven't had one problem with drive system.
Will be getting more miles this month as work is slowing down and conditions are great.
C3 are a great company to deal with.

It is very noticeable when you let off the gas you don't slow down, also anytime you reduce rotating mass that = more hp to the track and that is not arguable.

You should see at least a 5 to 8 mph gain above stock with adding a belt drive (JMO) but I don't know exactly.
