Im sick of busting belts on my 03 MM 700. I tryed everything such as lining the secondary up with the primary clutch using a clutch alignment tool from royal distributing, different clutch set-ups, more/less twist on the secondary. I ill blow a belt in a matter of hours if im hill climbing. when I buy a new belt I washes it with soap and clean it all up then takes it easy for the first tank of gas. there is only one more thing i can think of and thats my jackshaft is slightly bent. when i put my machine in neutral (i have neutral because i removed my reverse gears) the secondary clutch wobbles from side to side a little. also every single time i do bust a belt the first thing that happens is the line will start comming out of the sides of the belt and next is the whole top of the belt comes off. it rarely busts completely. Im really sick of ordering a new genuine yamaha 8dn belt ever week there over $100. hopefully one of you guys on here had this problem and solved it. thanks guys!
