this guy seems to be extremely honest, even when talking about the product he designed and flaws. Thats the type of company to buy from!

I’ve always liked your interviews from trade-shows. Solid info from folks who are clearly as passionate as all of us about this sport. 👍

I love to see these guys, that know their stuff and that return policy is crazy good. We keep learning with. You Louis, awesome!!!

Ive seen this guy a couple of times in some videos and its always been informative. I run xs821 belt and its amazing

Sounds like I need to order some new belts. Thanks for the interview it really helps to know what they are doing to make a better belt. With so many brands available it’s a trial and error method to buying belts. Ultimax is next on the list.

Thanks so much, i had no idea that belts have to be broken in, I've blown a belt before but that was years ago, but I'm gonna share this with my ski-doo group

Interesting video. I learned a thing or two. Thanks Louie!

That’s an awesome idea! Breaking in the spare belt so it’s ready to go, whenever I blew a belt I was never in a break in friendly situation and the thought of putting on another $180 plus belt and having to just hammer the throttle right off the line sends chills up my spine lol, great video as usual Thanks!!

So right, I actually broke one in last season, first actual break in, in a long time

I remember when the old Yamaha V-Max 4's came out & guys would chew through belts on a daily basis, especially if they were going from a hard pack to soft snow it was instant death for the belt. It,s good to see technology catching up to the power output of the new machines.

That was definitely some good information I might have to try out one of there belts

The look on his Face when Louie said you should know what your Talking About ! 😂😂 lol

That was a very informative vidya....MINT!

I put a XS belt on my 2016 Arctic Cat M8000 when I bought it new last year as a left over. It now has about 800 miles on it and I can tell you those weren't easy miles. 500 were in the mountain with LOOOOOOOONNNNG wide open pulls and the other 300 miles were ditch banging back at home. The belt still looks brand new and shows hardly any sign of wear. I'm very impressed so far with it and they are priced great also.

Both of you are awesome

I have a question so on my 2004 Skidoo rev 500ss Mxz today i was riding and the top of my belt ripped off , where the words are and I drove for another ten minutes after hearing before checking and it ran fine but I put my spare on to get home im wondering why the top would come off no cord has come off yet my belt deflection is good and there are no black marks to show slippage and I can keep my hand on the clutches for atleast 30 seconds so their also not too hot im just wondering whats wrong if you would know or tell me who to ask thanks

Was hoping he would touch more on clutch alignment and other clutching scenarios.

Very well done

I have 10,000 miles on a 2012 turbo cat. When new I couldn’t keep a belt to stay together. Cat changed the gearing, secondary, alignment and now I have over 3000 miles on my last belt. There is a formula to good belt life, you just have to find it. In cats case, the engineers worked hard to find the cause and make correction. They got popped hard on social media so they had to correct it.

polaris clutch is also a bigger diameter i believe. Generally polaris will blow belts before yamahas

Great video! Based on the warranty info alone, I'm going to check these guys out! Way to stand behind your products!!! Louie, if we buy our belts from the powermodz store, do we have to go through you if a warranty issue arises, or do we go directly to Ultimax?

If it's simple as just putting the belt through a few heat cycles...I'm going to start selling new belts that are pre broken in...🤑

You would have to mock up a stationery set up with similar stresses as the real thing. Putting 300 miles on a belt in fuel alone would make for an astronomical belt price. It would be awesome.

Evo belts are the way to go in my opinion. Check to make sure your belt is not bottoming out on the primary clutch when you install also your secondary bushings in your clutch can cause exclusive belt heat like the square ones they now install on an rzr clutch. Just make sure nothing in your clutch is making flat spots on your roller! Just some all round good advice

I'd love to be your go to guy. All you need to supply is an 800etec (or bigger) and a pallet of belts and I'll break in all your belts. We'll allow the following comments to give a title to my new position.

I agree 100% with the 120C is grossly bad info. Maybe 120F.

If your running your sled like it's stolen, it's going to break. I see these groups fly up behind you on a trail, bully safe riders to pass, blast by, shower riders with chunks of ice and snowpack from over studded ripper tracks. You have slow down from the snow cloud vortex they leave, as you can't see on coming riders. Then later catch up to them stopped to piss,smoke, or yes repair a sled. usually partially blocking you from safely passing on the trail. You continue on then.... guess what? Here they come again. I live and sled in area north of sturgeon falls and it's getting risky sledding here on main trails on weekends. All this performance sled building is not the the direction manufacturer's should exploit... Just thought l'd share.

Does this belt VOID the WARRANTY on New sleds?
