Do you know if Gates is still putting a 1yr warranty on these belts? The ones I bought last year had the warranty card on the inside of the belt sleeve, the one I bought a couple weeks ago does not. Eric
 
Does that part number have a C in it ??
Gates has a G designation also that is not Carbon ..

I have not bought one yet but would like to try .. I didn't have good luck with the Cat belt ( Grenaded on a long pull)

Not sure but will have to check.

They have a warranty card printed on the inside of the belt sleeve.
 
Reread my post.... I know thats how it was in the past, BUT I just bought one 2 weeks ago and the inside of the sleeve is blank. Eric

I just got a new one 2 days ago and it was on the inside of the sleeve and there was text on the outside saying warrantee inside.
 
Wasn't getting good rpm in stupid deep snow Monday. Decided to throw on one of the Gates....broke it in VERY hard at WOT...picked up rpm and is much more responsive than the Ultimax. Rode it again yesterday breaking up over Baker Pass in deep but a little more setup snow (very long pull) and it held rpms great.

So far I'm very impressed!
 
I purchased a carbon gates last season, broke it in properly, and ran it hard for 1,400 miles. I did not have to retune (same RPM's as 3211115). I noticed less heat fade than with Polaris oem belts and no pulled cords. I saved at least $1,000 on belts last winter. I think someone finally built a better belt. Some folks have mentioned they have had them grenade, but both my son and I have had great luck. They take a set when cold, I always warm them up prior to getting on it and have not had any issues. I purchased another last week and it had the warranty card on the sleeve also.
 
Anyone know the belt width on the gates 45C4553? Mine seem wider than the Polaris 3211183 and Cat 0627-048

I have this belt on my 2016 SKS and adjusted deflection. Running strong no loss of RPM and wearing well. I also put the other part number on my 2012 Pro and is working well.

Just sold new one to my buddy the other day and it did not have the warranty card printed on the inside. Not sure why some do and some do not.

I'm checking with my source, at Gates, on the omission of the warranty info inside the sleeve.
