2019 xp 4 1000.

Hello... its got about 8000 miles on it. All road miles. I figured i should possibly buy a new belt and use the old one for a spare (just in case). I have read that some people have put well over 10000 miles on their machines and the belts have held up fine. Anyway... any advice on buying a new belt? Where to get it from? Stay with polaris oem or go aftermarket? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If your OEM lasted that long I'd buy another.

8000 miles and still going? In a year. What, you delivering mail with the things?

I can't imagine asking for more then the factory belt gave you. Why open a new can of worms? Be different if the demands you were placing in it weren't giving you decent results, but here...

OEM, the proof is in the pudding.

Love the hunter works belts, but certainly you mean 800/1000 right? Most people probably don’t put that many miles on their machine, let alone the belt.

Thanks for the help. I will stick with oem.

To answer some of the questions...

No... don't deliver mail but that was a great one!! I chuckled. Just really enjoy the machine. Put the rockford fosgate stage 5 in it cause I am a music fanatic and just really enjoy taking cruises and cranking the system and enjoying... some... ummm pop!

Yes I really did mean 8000 not 800 miles. Like I said I just enjoy being in it and riding..

I have read alot of people saying they have gotten that many miles out of their belts so was kinda surprised that you all were surprised. But I guess thats a good thing and I will definitely stick with oem.

Also... like I said. Its ALL road miles so it has been babied and looks like it did when I bought it. Anyway I really do appreciate the advice and really love this forum. Its very helpful and I really do enjoy everyone's opinions. Thanks again... till next time!

8000 miles per year, must be a daily driver - and commuting in it

Well technically i guess its been 2 yrs in April. My bad

Wow, 4000 miles a yr 👍

You weren't lying, that thing still looks new. I'd go polaris on the belt, otherwise I personally save the extra money and go hunterworks. I've been using hunterworks now, before that was badass belt...but for a street machine, you don't need anything crazy.

Thanks for your opinion. Just curious. How much savings are we talking? I didnt realize how expensive polaris belts were. How much is the Hunterworks? Even though i might not need that "badass" of a belt, if the savings is enough i might go with it.

The hunter works belts are 134, once in a while he’ll throw a sell up on here. May want to check the secondary pucks for wear and replace with his rollers. Lots of info on that on this page.

If it's not broke don't fix it. 8k on a OEM is fantastic.

I don't know what you can get a polaris belt for, i thought they were around $180-190.

Don't pay attention to the badass belt, thats a gboost belt from evolution Motorsports.

Last time I got a hunterworks belt, they were around $130. As mentioned, sometimes Todd has sales on them and knocks $20 off...so they would be $110ish shipped via fedex 2 day iirc.
Hunterworks is just a better quality oem belt. His sales are usually on major holidays.

Being you can get 2 yrs plus on the belt, price might not be all that important, but i like to try snd save as much as I can,
