Alright so I blew the belt on my 1999 Yamaha VMax 500. It was a Dayco USA brand. Put a Gates XTreme on. We compared the two belts. They are both the same size (44 1/4 by 3/
Yet when we put the Gates on it squeels really bad, the sled starts to roll away without someone on it, and it revs really high without getting anywhere. Yet it still feels like it has a powerband because it feels like it kicks in around 7,000 Rpms. Then you back off the throttle after it kicks in and you can cruise at about 30 mph at 5,000 Rpms... Help, some serious crap has gone wrong... Is my clutch shot?!?! Please help.
