i bought a vmax and it came with a goodyear drive belt. my buddies told me that i need to get a different belt then a goodyear, but im not ever sure if its the right type of belt. i am wondering if anyone knows what type of belt i need. thanks!

Gates Dayco or oem It would take a 1106 belt!

Vmaxowner

thank you. i think it had a 71172 goodyear on it. and was casueing it to run weird

Could be the belt needs to be as tight as possible, to shift correctly!

Vmaxowner

yea thats what i figured. we bought it and the front skies dont seem to come up when you hit the gas and i know its a little front end heavy but a 600 should be able to pick the front skies up when you hit the gas. but it might just be the machine and may never really lift them up. we figured it was the belt for sure but if that doesnt seem to work were going to look at the suspension. the bottom track tether straps are all ready as long as they will go but theres the ski suspension we can losen or tighten and there's also the shocks under the track that can also adjust. thanks.

They are over geared! Drop the top tooth in the chain case! (replace the chain too!)

oh i didnt even think of that. good idea. thanks. but should changing the suspension have much of a change to it. and do you know if the sled should pull the front skis up since it is a 600 or do you figure its just front end heavy and designed not to be able to pull them up. thanks again for the tips
