On myway home from 6 days of ridding in revy the last three days were some of the best snow I have ever seen sled is stock with a turbo outlet exhaust and mds weights sled seemed to pull way more track speed earlier in the week but still seemed ok I did notice the short hose just on top of the primary clutch was unhooked so I pluged it Into the bottom one is that right? Also I blew one belt on the second last day and two on the last day which is pretty ****ty on a 16000$ sled these belts are 240 a piece out here. I met a guy on the hill and he said I was blowing belts coz of the mds profile so next trip inthink I will be using stock weights.
First mt trip on m1100t

Bottom fitting should stay open i believe, but the middle one should have a hose coming off

I've never heard anybody say they blew a belt because of the MDS weights. A lot of people blowing belts are going to mds weights to help with belt temps and such. I would check your alignment/deflection first. I have a 12' 1100t with the BC 275 kit and have not blown one belt since day one and have had mds weights since day one and have close to 1000 miles on it. Just my two cents.
Did the belts explode or rip in half? Just had my primary shimmed for longer belt and the guy that did it had to clearance the moveable sheave bushing in the spider. At hot temps the clearance would shrink to almost danger zone. This would shred a belt where as the ripping in half could be the belt bottoming in the secondary on the helix. Seems these new primaries are not as bulky as what the z1 turbos had. The diameter has decreased on the main shaft. Damn Beeeaaaannn Coouunnters!
Make sure that belt is not ballooning on decel. and hitting the POS belt guard above. Seems the 13s have an extra tab where the two covers are coming together. There are some rivets hanging down and catching the belt when it balloons up. I have a 12 and noticed a notch outta my belt but I don't have that little bracket so I'm not sure what it hit. FWIW.

I noticed this same thing on my old M1000 the belt would arc as I call it and hit the belt guard taking chunks of the foam out then not long after the belt would shred. Lost two belts this way so I got rid of the foam and belt holder strap haven't had a problem since!

belts and weights
ok here is my two cents myself and couple of buddys run the same set up i have a boondocker 1.9, evo brv, evo cold air intake, roll over valve, and a pipe. People say on here u dont need the extra weights. Well i will tell u from blowen belts that u do i went with magaforce adjustable weights. Running 91 grams {85 stock} and i cant believe the difference. its like a whole new machine pulls real hard so hard that the button i have on my handle bars i have not even touched it since this set up. But who knows people have said on here that the 1.9 dont work with a crap also. But mine does and i have proved it with other machines this is my thoughts there is people that well not agree but i am happy with mine good luck !!!!!!!!!

Robo what elevation are you riding at? Are you running the stock helix? I have a set of the magna weights sitting in a box cause I was told not to run them as well.

I'm pretty sure it's pulling cords first then peeling the top off just bought a new belt 262 bucks I blew three in three days not very happy the dealer that I bought the belt from said there is a fix for my exact problem it's from cat and its only 35$ but he is still testing it and he wasn't 100% sure it will work but for that price it's crazy not to try. My clutches would get so hot that if I put snow on it would sizzle like bacon in a frying pan
Mmmmmmm. A fix from Cat to assist in the belt issue and he is testing it??
Generally a FIX from Cat would be no cost- as the recent rail tips fix( that are backordered):face-icon-small-dis
Sounds like the dealer might be testing HIS fix and will try to market it

The past 2 days ive blown belts on my trip. After looking the sled over while riding the snow likes to build up where the hood meets the side panel. Sits there until it starts to melt and start dripping down from one of the scews on the hood right above the primary. I could take the side panel off and see it dripping right down past the clutch guard right onto the primary. Taped it up today and didnt have any problems. Clutches and belt were not even as hot as the past 2 days. Just my findings these past couple days so when I get back home I will be figuring out a way to seal the hood to side panel. The way it is now sure isnt working without tape. Belts looked real similar to the ones you posted

i agree, snow is getting to a lot of peoples clutches, i taped mine up a well and have not had any problems, but it is still a good idea to get the heat out, which i am doing as well. time will tell...

Made it another day without blowing a belt with the taped up side panel. Snow was over the hood and no problems. Its just a bad spot for snow to sit and melt in between the 2 panels with all the heat coming out, the race plastics would be nice to retrofit onto this chassis because the hood, side panel, and console are all one piece. Would just need to modify there front airbox to fit an intercooler inside instead.

hi reaper got any pics where you put the tape...tks
Yes pics would be great !
