Well I just burned up my first belt on my 2011 rmk. 1727 miles I couldn't be any happier:face-icon-small-coo It's nice not to have to worry about burning up belts. My last sled was a doo doo and it was a belt burner, that's why I crossed over to polaris and I'm sure glad I did.

1727 miles that is impressive. I can't get anywhere near that.

Curious how much belt dust your setup produces and what exactly your altitude and setup are?

Vents? Fans?

Murph,
I've been riding a 2012 155 and have also been getting outstanding belt life, approx. 1000 miles to the belt. One thing I've noticed is very little belt dust using stock recommended Polaris clutching, no vents, no fans. I rode the crap out of it a couple weeks ago in 50 degree weather. I would pull the side panel every now and then checking for excessive heat, there wasn't any.

I'm am just about at 1000 miles on my original belt. No signs of wear, very little dust and I have no extra venting or fans either. Running near stock clutching @ around 9k feet on average.

I run a stage 3 slp package and use there recommended clutch kits, 6oooft, and have side panel vents, some belt dust but there is always going to be some, i also made a footwell vent for the clutch side which keeps the fluffy stuff from getting onto the secondary.
