Yea I agree but I just checked my receipt actually 89.95. Maybe the dealer screwed up. I was wandering why everyone else was talking 150. And the dealer just got bought out so that is probably going to end

I checked my receipt obviously the dealer goofed, in fact I have two receipts at 89.95 some times we don't know when we are looking the gift horse in the mouth
Take a look at this on ebay.

You're lucky!
$250.00 per belt at my local Cat dealer for an 082 belt for my belt blowing M1100T!

Yep... $180 per.
I've talked to the people at Gates, Dayco, and Goodyear.
They don't have anything that is as robust as the 115 belt... If you find yourself blowing a 115 belt often, even with a turbo, something is wrong with your sled (clutching [offset, springs/helix, bushings, balance, deflection, side clearance] alignment, mounts etc)
Most of the sleds that I take care of are getting 1500+ hard miles out of the belt even with the turbos.
The 115 belt from Mitsuboshi (no Mitsubishi) was brought out in 2007 for the 900 Rmk belt eaters... They were the only ones that could tollerate the issues.
That being said... you should be pulling your belt every 3rd ride or so... and scrubbing it with a stiff brush and dish soap (you actually need to scrub it not just wash it) and cleaning your clutches with a mild scotchbrite pad (gray) and follow with a brake-cleaner or acetone wipe and clean paper towels till you get no residue on the towel. I've see stock 800's with proper clutching and gearing get over 3000 miles on a 115 belt when working right.
IMO...The 115 belt IS the best belt for the money.

115 belt on my 700 lasted 2500 milesss then a Carlisle lasted another 2500 and is still running i believe
$250 for a cat belt wow, good way to make sure they don't go bankrupt.

don't those gates belts explode,the last one I had on my 01 rmk 800,with pipes exploded on a climb almost totaled machine cause belt let go so quick I was going backwards,havent used them since
Decided to give the gates Xtreme: 44X4640 a try, $66 shipped to my door. Cleaned with mild soap and warm water, and 25 miles of trail to break it in. 2 rides later it's pulling cord (pretty much done!). Do yourself a favor and spend the money on poo belt. You get what you pay for.

Great price but will this fit a Pro RMK 800? What are differences between it and OEM regarding size/width etc...

I run a 048 cat belt 85 bucks they work great angles are almost perfect match
115 for me and like MH said clean them and clutches they last 2000 miles.
