Use the "zip tie" method on the belt while installing, it will slip on with zero issues if you get the belt adjusted perfect, I change mine in about 5 min.

What is the zip tie method? And why replace the lower bolt?
Do you remember what size and length the bolt is?

You wrap a zip tie around the belt just below the top gear to help keep the belt in the proper shape so the gears slides on easier.

The bolt is a one and done item according to Polaris. Also there are stronger bolts that can be used. I haven't heard of a axys bolt failing like a pro rmk lower bolt.

This thread really has me thinking about doing this. I ride in deep pow 90 percent of the time so gearing down could help out a lot. So stock belt, Pro ride gears... did anyone have to re-weight their clutching?

Well after a full day yesterday of riding at 7500 feet with pretty good conditions, maybe 1-2 feet powder over a good base here is my final set up after messing around with the clutching a LOT over time.

16 axys
SLP pipe, diamond can 163"
primary... MTX weights, 68 gr
primary spring 125/333 titanium,or slp blue/pink
secondary.. helix 56--40 .36
black/purple spring, 2 delrins

Sled pulled 8450-8500 on the flats up there and 8250-8350 in hard climbs.

all in all I really like the gear down, allows full shift out a bit better and nice low end grunt improvement, however it is in no way a necessity as sled really runs great with the pipe can combo, basicly runs better than my friends 13 pro with the stage 4 slp kit.
