Belt drive

[Brimor]

Was wondering if anyone has ever tried the belt drives for the xt. Wanted to know if I should get one or keep stock gears.

@brimmer @Phill is the member you want to talk to. He swears by his and is very knowledgeable on the subject. May be he'll swing by or you can PM him.

Anything is better that gears
Less friction and less heat = more power with the belt and they don't shatter or loose teeth.
Go for it!
How's yours going D2S?

Are you sure this is the V5 version for the MT?
I thought we needed version V8-1?

From what I've read up on and what I've seen the v5 works for my rampage xt.

This is off topic from the belt drive, I have the XT and put a jetpro side mount pipe on it. Should i break it in with this pipe or the stock pipe?

@Brimor Break it in with pipe! It's all good! Just don't push on the extra power! It can be tempting.
