here is what I do, some people agree and some dont but I have been doing this for years now and I have NEVER had a belt blow apart on me. I take the belt off and scrub it real good with a brillo pad and dishwashing soap, let it air dry. I then clean the cluthces like everyone does. Now heres the trick, with the belt off start your sled. Get some 80 grit sand paper and sand the primary sheaves. As the primary is spinning reach down to the bottom of the sheave with the sand paper and very lightly touch the sheaves. As its spinning start coming up with the sand paper, you will notice a "spiral" type of pattern as your moving the paper up. Do this to both sides. It works, dont get all crazy and push to hard all you are trying to do is give the belt some traction so it grabs instead of slip on the primary. DONT do this to the secondary. If your sceptical do a heat test. Run your sled first with out doing this, use a heat gun and take its temp. Then do this process and take its temp again, you will notice lower temps. :face-icon-small-coo
