Original RZR Belt finally went out on me.

After 1600 miles of good hard riding my stock belt finally bit the dust.

Easy to replace. With a few small tools you can easily do it while out on the trail.

Here is some pix of mine.

It was PACKED in there when I took it off.

I went with the EPI Heavy Duty belt. I did not run the white spacer that they include.

is the spacer for more low end like the Rhino washer/spacer?

It helps it engage a little faster and smoother. I don't run it because I run a wider belt otherwise I would install it with the stock belt.....

Every machine responds a bit different I believe. EPI recomends running the spacer. I ran mine both ways and liked how it engaged better without it.

That is one heck of a ride to destroy the belt. Good job on choosing the kind of brand.

What do you know about that brand? Just curious.

1600 miles. You got your use out of it. I was wondering how long a belt would last. I have been carrying a spare, may not need for a while.

I was suprised how long mine stayed together. I have seen them last only a few hundred miles. A spare is always a plus to have with you.

When you say "a few small tools," what all do you need to change a belt. Sounds like it will eventually happen and I would like to be prepared. Thanks.

When I replaced mine I needed a 5/8" socket, 5/8" wrench, and a T-25 Torx wrench to remove the seat belt brace. Then a 3/8" swival socket, 6" extension, ratchet, and a flat blade screwdriver to remove the belt cover, then a large flat blade screwdriver to pry open (spread apart) the driven pulley between the housing and the roller pins (not on the sheave it self) to slip the belt off.
