I've been told that the 700 belt is the best of all types because it has kevlar.

everyone that i know and including a guy at a local shop says you get more life out of a oem belt and do not cost much more sometimes cheaper

When I changed mine on my Rhino I used oem also. I did measure after market against oem and the oem had more material so it will last longer. As for my rzr I have a oem replacement for it also.

I changed my OEM belt on my Rzr at 1400 miles. was still pulling good but didnt wanna push it. So i put a new belt on and kept the old one in the tool bag as a spare.

OEM on the Yamaha's from everything I've read. However, knocking on wood, my Grizzly 450 just turned over 2000 miles at Hatfield McCoy last weekend and it's still going great on the original belt.

Drive Belt 2013-011
This was my stock belt with 2400+ miles it hadn't gave me any warning and I had checked it two weeks ago and it was fine... After talking with the local shop and mechanics I decided to try a Hyperdrive belt they have been replacing can-am belts with these and haven't had any issues..as far as any differences with it to the stock belt its designed the exactly same....only time and my right foot will tell how good it will hold up!

I have 3700 on my xp belt but carry an extra in my tool box. Depending who you talk to my right foot could go either way. It takes about 15 minutes to chg a belt on this machine. They even give you a special tool to spread the sheaves and make it EASY. The belt costs about $200.00.
