Has anyone tried using a Gates belt on there M1000 or W.H.Y.? The price seems right and you can supposedly getthem at NAPA, but how do they work? Anyone know if NAPA carries Ultimax as well?

I have heared that the xs817 is a great belt, but cannot find anyone locally that carries it, I'd have to mail order thru Royal Dist.(Canada). But I'll see if NAPA has em tommorow.

I have ran the xs belt for a couple of years. The belts seem to last longer. But when they go, they grenade into a million pieces, and throw you over the bars ! Also, you will have to change your primary weights with this belt, otherwise you will not turn your rpms. I had to drop 3 grams per weight ! Which seems like a lot, but compared side by side with the oem belt, the xs property weighted, will out pull the stock belt. And run cooler.

Same experience as above, if you start to see heat marks on the belt, replace it. I had two belts fail and both were taken care of by sending them back to Carlisle for the $10 fee. Here is a link that may help you.
