Turbo R belt life?

[UTAC]

Maybe this thread is out there already but I didn't find any info... I blew my belt today at 520 Miles, seems a little premature to me? How far has everybody else with a Turbo R been getting on their belts before they exploded. My belt was always adjusted to sit within spec and never have seen a belt temp warning. I have been riding my 163" track mostly deep snow days with minimal trail riding since the day I got this sled so maybe that contributed to early failure? Just curios what everyone else is experiencing. Thanks!

Never mind, Let me figure out how to delete this, I found a thread with this same topic seems 500 miles might be somewhat normal mileage to expect.

Ya pretty normal.

I am guessing you may not actually have a turbo r. Someone sold you a 2016 summit with a 163". I am sorry there are people who take advantage of ignorance every day, it's a shame really.

1250kms for my first belt and i pulled a cord caught it before it actually blew

Ha! old habits... My 2016 163 would go well over 1000 miles before I even thought about changing the belt in that sled. But yeah Turbo R has a little more power than the old sled. I did put about 800 miles on my 22 turbo and that belt seemed great when I sold that sled.

929.5 miles before this. Though considering how I’ve been abusing the belt. I’m more than satisfied. Even if I got 500 miles I’d have been happy.

I already ordered my clutch from Joey at iBackshift for my 24 850r turbo. I have had his clutch kits in my last two sleds, and know they are worth doing. I have over 1500 miles on my belt in my 22 turbo, and it still looks great.

Yep ran a 20.5 to 1750 miles on stock belt half with stock clutching and other half was ibackshift. G5s eat belts

1200km original belt, Ibackshift clutching since 400km

1200k on original belt, stock clutching and belt looks like new on mine

I am at 1000 miles on original belt. I will probably resign it to being a spare but it still looks good. I have rode 4 different clutch setups this year.

 

[damx]

What clutching have you used?

I have close to 700 miles on my G5 turbo on the factory belt, stage 1 map tune. I feel like that is very very good with the amount of abuse I've put that belt through. I broke in a new belt and with put that on now. You blow a belt under full power on one of these it can cause some damage, a new belt once in a while is much cheaper.

Hey how do you like that stage 1 maptune? Have you run it for the full 700? Performance difference noticeable, you can pm me if better
