Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know when my drive belt needs replacing? A: Check the belt width against the wear limit and look for glazing, fraying, or missing cogs. A belt that slips under acceleration or sits below the secondary sheave edge is due for replacement.

Q: Is belt deflection adjustable after installation? A: Yes, deflection is set at the secondary clutch, and older Ski-Doo models typically specify a small amount of deflection. Adjust to the factory spec so the belt engages smoothly.

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