The fastest way to ruin your new powersport drive belt is to simply install it. If you dont break the belt in properly, youll find yourself shredding the belt instead of the terrain. In fact, most powersport belt failures can be attributed to improper break-in and clutch adjustment or not breaking in the belt at all.

Ensure the best performance and longest life from your G-Force belt. Follow these three steps when installing a new belt.

1. Install the Right Belt. Using a belt thats even slightly different than the OE specs can affect performance or stop you in your tracks.

2. Align and Clean. Align the clutches according to manufacturers specifications and clean the sheaves with a Scotch-Brite pad. Remove old belt residue, glazing, oils and debris with alcohol or acetone on the clutch sheave area. DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEANER.

3. Install and Break It In. Perform two heat cycles in 20 miles. Conservatively run through the entire shift range, without exceeding throttle. Bring the belt back to normal operating temperature (15 minutes) then shut down and completely cool the belt for 30 minutes. Repeat the process.
