Drive Belt 0627-111 For Arctic Cat Norseman X 8000 Riot 8000 146in 1.6 ARS II

Drive Belt for Arctic Cat Norseman X 8000 and Riot 8000

This drive belt is a direct replacement for the OEM belt on Arctic Cat Norseman X 8000 and Riot 8000 snowmobiles with the 146 inch track and 1.6 ARS II setup, transferring power from the clutch to the driven shaft.

Overview

This drive belt is built to handle the torque of the Arctic Cat 8000 engine in Norseman X and Riot models. It rides between the primary and secondary clutches to deliver smooth power to the track, and it is the part to keep on hand when the original belt wears thin or glazes. Snowmobile owners who ride the 146 inch track with the 1.6 ARS II package can use this belt as a direct swap.

• High-strength cord reinforcement resists stretch under load
• Heat-resistant rubber compound tolerates clutch temperatures
• Consistent width and angle for proper clutch engagement

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know when the drive belt needs replacing? A: A glazed surface, frayed edges, or a belt sitting below the secondary clutch spec are signs of wear. Measure the belt width against spec before installing a new one.

Q: Should I break in a new drive belt? A: Yes, run the first miles at moderate throttle and avoid full throttle launches so the belt seats to the clutch faces. This helps it last longer.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
