How to Replace Your Snowmobile’s CVT Belt
As powersports enthusiasts who love to squeeze the throttle and explore, we expect a lot from our continuously variable transmission (CVT) belts. Most riders want to hit top speed all day long, cover tons of ground and still make it home at the end of the day, which is why choosing the right belt is so important. As the main transfer point of power from engine to drivetrain, the belt in a CVT is crucial for performance, and that’s why you should look the Gates G-Force RedLine for your next belt.
The first question to ask is when should I replace my belt? The answer to this could be obvious if your current belt breaks, but it’s also important to do regular inspections of your belt looking for fraying, chipping, cracking or any other visible signs of wear. It you spot any issues, it’s better to swap that belt out to ensure reliability, and that’s where the Gates G-Force RedLine comes in.
Gates uses a laser scanning process to make sure its replacement belts are exactly the same size and shape as your original belt. Thanks to its patented Ethylene Elastomer (EE), axial stiffness on the G-Force RedLine is also maximized to provide longevity and better performance than the OEM belt that came with your machine. In fact, Gates boasts that your acceleration and top speed will be improved simply be swapping to one of its G-Force RedLine belts.
In our case, we changed the belt on a 2015 Ski-Doo Grand Touring 1200, a process which will be similar on most newer Ski-doo models. Of course, the Gates G-Force RedLine belts aren’t only good for snowmobiles, so keep Gates in mind for your side-by-sides and ATVs as well.

2019 Ski-Doo Backcountry X-RS Review
zhlédnutí 34KPřed 6 lety
The 2019 Ski-Doo Backcountry X-RS comes in one length only, 146. Three track choices are available, the 15-inch wide Cobra (standard), or the 15-inch wide Ice Cobra (optional) with 1.6-inch tall paddles, or the 16-inch wide PowderMax with 2.0-inch tall lugs (optional). We recommend the PowderMax for more bite in luscious powder. To us the Cobra and Ice Cobra is Renegade territory; though good t...

Polaris targets the smartly dressed Snow Check Select SKS 146 850 as the crossover snowmobile from its tool drawer for the rider who wants to whack some powder as much (or more) as they want to burn some ditch. The 2019 Polaris ...

    Thanks to arctic cat, Yamaha has nice sleds. I’m a fan of the 2014 1100 turbo m9000. My dream sled pushes 240hp. It’s not the best sled for that year but I love it twin cylinder 4stroke Suzuki turbo. Always wanted one n finally got it this year. Every single brand sled this year is insane. So much power, light, n clean burning. I’m a diehard cat fan but I think ski-doo has the best 2023 sled

    I have a 2013 F1100 Turbo. From factory, the jackshaft flexes up to 180 thousandths of an inch and the bracket that holds the jackshaft bearing on the clutch side comes attached to the engine. Every time you let off the throttle, the belt takes the brunt of the force from over shifting and it heats up. Guys have spent thousands trying to fix belt blowing issues by installing new clutches, jackshafts, etc. If you want to be done blowing belts, especially if you have it tuned up (I have 240 horse tune, cold air intake, extended track, Bikeman Clutch kit), you'll have to replace a couple parts. The bracket that holds the jackshaft on the secondary side has to be replaced as well as the jackshaft. The new brace will stop the overheating on deceleration and the heavier jackshaft will keep your secondary from pulling out of parallel when you're accelerating. This should have been addressed right from factory and a couple engineers did in fact lose their jobs at Arctic Cat over this. They now work at Polaris. lol. Scott Taylor Engineering still makes these parts and he does them well. For the double approach fix, you're looking at just shy of $1000. That's a bit to spend but better than having a $5,000+ paperweight that you don't want to ride because it constantly blows $120+ belts.
