Not really sure how old the belt on my 600 is. Should I replace it and then wind it out again to see if it lowers my top speed rpm?? I saw 8500 at one point this past weekend... and 8000 many times.

Are the OEM belts the way to go???

Yes it can cause an over-rev. Try a new belt before touching the clutches. Stock belts hold up about the best.
