I used my Can Am Maverick X3 Turbo SXS to find out if an old beat up CVT Belt with 1,000 miles on it is hurting my performance! We follow Proper CVT Belt Break In Procedures given by the GBoost website. Just some small prep for the SXSBlog drag race in a few days...

10k baby 💯👍👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩
Pinned! 🤗👍👊🍻
@@ftorvideo 🥰🥰🥰
Love the fact you've been authentic from day 1. Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir! We'll strive to keep it that way!
good test I have always wondered. might as well keep it as a spare its always good to get you out of the woods.
Cool video! Interesting result. Can’t wait to see the new belt.
Yes sir! We're super excited for the new belt too
That was actually pretty interesting. I could see the old being a little fast as long as it's not slipping because it's probably much more supple which maybe translates into efficiency? cool vid Aaron🖒🖒
I think that just shows how good that Bad Ass belt actually is!
Just wanted to say thank you. As per our previous exchange you answered my concerns. Just waiting on a WBB now.
Us too :) hehe... an thank you sir!
Long snowmobiling background here...I can tell ya your definitely on the right track!... Have seen a lot of underpowered sleds set up properly with great clutching give bigger sleds fits. And belts are a huge factor....from compound hardness to minor length or width differences. You guys are doing it right! Great vids!
🍻 Thanks man! Appreciate the comment!
Crazy thing all these test I did when the commander came out and I finished building the motor throttle body etc and new belts were faster if the old belt was worn out. Broken end belts with miles were always faster. Especially if used a can am race belt. I love that you have a channel dedicated to performance tuning
Love the objective measure and that the ass-dyno isn't always reliable. And YHUGE congrats on 10K. Keep up the great vids and shenanigans!
What you mite be feeling is with some new belts it could be slightly wider. So it could be sitting higher in the secondary. Which could be giving you a slightly low gear ratio. But other then that, it should be really close. Had a good time talking and racing with you and Keith over the weekend. Congratulations on 10K as well.
Hell yea man it was awesome chilling with yoy guys! Cya in a few weeks!!
Yes this channel is so boring that's why I sit and watched every video and been subscribed this long good channel keep up the good work
And we love that you're here my friend! 🍻
Wow that’s crazy I was totally confident that the new belt would run a better time... If I think about it a well broken in belt would probably do the BEST time though. Everything would be at it’s optimum I think. Good test tho bro there is always some variables to 0-60 / acceleration tests especially when you are measuring thousandths of a second difference. My take away is that they are the same. As long as it is properly broken in or not falling apart it should be good. Another amazing and boring video that I couldn’t help but watch as soon as I was notified from you badass dudes. Good job brother/‘s I’ll be waiting for the next one! 🤘😎🤘
Your thoughts are my thoughts exactly... I used to think... I needed to change the belt after a while if I wanted to maintain my performance. Turns out, not so much the case! lol... Thank you for the support my brother!
Definitely a good idea for a video, I was very interested, good info. I point people to your video on testing the Evo badass belt all the time. I tell people it's the belt to get, we run it, and we run it based on the info from your video.
Hell yea!!! We thank you for your support fellow UA-camr!!
@@ftorvideo Gotta stick together homie!!! Now when are we riding?!?
Can't wait for the new belt test.💪
Us too!!
And I care.... That was a good idea for a Video!
Thank you sir!
That’s why you beat me At the race lol i had a new belt Had a great time with you guys
Absolutely brother! Was awesome hanging out with you!
Now next you have to see if new tires versus old tires
I'm glad that you did the test.... Now I know.
Our pleasure brother!
Well I was excited about the Belt I won.....LOL! Thanks Aaron
Hah! Hey, i was just as shocked as you!
Just a thought but if the new belt feels like it's transferring torque much better it may be because the old belt wasn't......right before it popped. You may not feel the belt slipping before it fails but I'm guessing it probably is. Either way gboost for the win.
Cool, there one less thing I have to think about 🍻🍻 but now we got that new belt to ponder on 🤔
We're here for you my Dude of the Doons
Geez wonder if I should change my belt? have had the same one since I purchased it in 2016 ... and next week is 2022 ..almost 4000 miles on it. yeah.. time for a new belt before that one breaks somewhere I don't need it too LOL
Something was odd about that for sure, I would've bet money on that the new one would've been faster I need to replace my belt on my 2012 Commander. I run HighLifter C3 belts try one of those. Everyone was telling me to run a Dayco Pro and I had to replace it in a month, I wasn't impressed with them
I noticed when you ran the old belt that the temperature was 95 degrees just before you took off and it was at 135 with the new belt just before you took off. Not sure if that would make a difference.
Good video i always wondered if it would change anything
🍻
Wouldn't the old belt be more narrow from wear? If that were true I could see the old belt quicker off the line but slower top speed?
Now that was good topic
Thanks my man!
Can u do a test with new belt with out doing none of the instructions recommended by their website?
Aaren it looks like the belt you abuse could take more abuse good info it’s always good to clean them clutches up anyways keep bringing it 🤪
Its always so hard to know when, "when", is when. I had 1,000 miles of atrocious abuse on it... it was time to hang the time bomb on the wall lol
I have a question is it safe have you ever ran 110 octane in any of your machines I have a RZR turbo xp
Surely it will be faster with a new belt is my bet!
I miss these guys videos tobad they dont make content looks like any more
Can you redo this test but with running shoes?
Good video. Answers the question. It shows that a good belt is a good belt...until it isn't.
Kinda the reason I don't like sky diving
@@ftorvideo Ya, there is a reason I never tried that either. LOL
It's been a while. What new belt was it??
Maybe it’s the peace of mind that is making it feel faster 😂😂😂
When i go and wash my car real good vacuum it real nice and pull out the carwash feels like i put some ponies back into it😂😂
That clean car mod.. it's real
I would be curious if the stock belt would make a faster time since it's lighter duty and easier to spin the lighter mass?
Different belts would probably yield a different time.. which is why I didn't want to use a different belt. It had to be the same belt for this test. But that could be a good future video idea!
Just gettin it 😎 😎💯👍
Hay guys I need a left front swaybar end link . I was wandering if u guys had a take off laying around
I believe we do, hit us up on Facebook my man. Links in the description below
Good video. Do you have a picture of the side of the old belt? That will show how worn out that belt is. I guess what im getting at is if that belt was made to go 5k miles and you only took it 1k miles then you may not notice a difference. But if before you came off a belt that was at the end of its life and changed to a fresh one then you would feel the difference. I have a Badass belt sitting on my shelf that is going on my XPT soon (Im due for a belt change) and Im curious if I pick up anything on it as I know for sure that I have lost some top end as the belt has worn.
I hold them up next to each other about mid way through the video. The old belt was very worn, it had threads missing on the edges and it was notched in a few places.
@@ftorvideo I saw that but how to tell how worn a belt is if you look at the side there is natural taper to it as you know. Then at the very top/outer portion of the side it flattens off when that flat part is gone the belt is pretty well worn out and starts wearing thinner. I was curious if any of that flat portion was left.
Evidently it wasn’t wore out yet that’s pretty impressive with all that power for 1000 miles
Well it looked pretty beat up lol
waiting for a new belt! what clicks did u make on your machines and Dosers on suspension? (LHC,HSC and Rebound) ? How do u ride?
Hey Brotherman! We are using the full Shock Therapy RIS system so our settings are unique to our machines. We ride... HARD! Follow along!
@@ftorvideo I thought u will answer that.;(
Wonder if I put fresh oil in my transmission would make my YXZ faster?
🤣🤷🏼♂️
Also to do a proper test for what you wanted, you should have done the test 3 times with the old belt, and taken the average .. and the same with the new belt.. would have been more accurate. I think new belt may give you a tiny edge? ..
Do you have stickers on the website I could not find any??
They're currently being made my good sir! Stick around! hehe... get it?
I can see and feel the difference between a new and old belt
I didn't
Yeah in ur wallet
Yes
How does the new g belt work. Is it better than the OEM belt
The Bad Ass belt (in this video) works amazing... but the one we're going to be testing is even better. Stick around!
No 2023 Polaris RZR Pro R s Belts? It's almost 2024!!
Where's the new belt test?? 😜 🇺🇲🧨🇺🇲🚀
Where are the bent Dozer radius rods for the Wall of Shame/Fame????
He has his own wall... his wall has more stuff than mine does lolol
@@ftorvideo I believe it! He earns that nickname. We need to see that wall....I think his may be bigger and we all know...ahem...size does matter..... ;-)
Hah!!! 👌
3.67 new belt
Do you have the new badass wb belt yet
That's what we're waiting on to test
quick question my gboost belt says Japan on it worlds best belt yours says made in America???? can you help with this ...have I been ripped off??
Where did you buy it from
@@ftorvideo adrenaline atv Kentucky
@@ftorvideo I live in Mobile Alabama couldn't find anyone that carried it with in a 100 mile radius
@@benjamin.25junkie57 im not sure then my friend. Just for reference, we sell these in our site.. we ship them for free anywhere in the US
@@ftorvideo okay thanks ill buy from your site so I know I am getting what is advertised thanks a ton
A new belt always suck till you get broke in good.
And an oem belt is better that that gates belt for performance !
Did you wash the old belt before you hung it up? Where’s the video of you racing beastmode??
Did not wash it. Should I have? Our sxsblog video will drop after theirs out of respect 🍻
Nah looks better dirty probably 😎 can’t wait to see more dude 👍👍
In your video your max rpm was 7900 on the new belt and 7700 on the old belt. Interesting.
Can I buy the best belt you have
Yes sir, hit the link in the description to head to our store. Browse the Geiser selection and look for the "Bad ass belt". We pay your shipping if you're in the US!
What happens if u just throw it on with out washing it 🤔😅
Your car turns into a rzr
Worlds best Belt!
You got it brother
hot ones?
Not useless at all. Nice vid 👍
🍻
Seemed like you hesitated a little with the new one. I think they would be about the same. Run it till it breaks. Throw the old one in the back for a spare.
No hesitation on my part. But yea, now that I know there isn't really a performance difference... I'll just leave it in there until it finally breaks. I thought for sure it would be slowing me down... Turns out, not the case.
@@ftorvideo yea, was surprised they were so close. Good to know too. 👍
After that montage I feel more sorry for you're suspension than the belt.
There should be a difference between a new and old belt. They warp over time when heating and cooling down. Also depends on how much actual wear the belt has, missing teeth etc.
But why tho
Oh, lol... well yea that makes sense
I like “UA-cam’s most useless channel” 😂
Well hey - at least we're honest with ourselves lol
Yes time of your 0-60
I think my Evo belt is over 2K miles now. lol
They just keep going! Now that I know they don't really loose performance... I'll just keep running them until they give up the ghost
15 years from now your whole SXS will be hanging on your wall in trophy pieces as you upgrade.
This comment made me giggle lol...
Now that's funny
Who'da thunk it? Not me!
You should have compared top speed between the 2. Belts get narrower as they wear so they shouldn't shift the rear sheave as far as a new belt. Likely wouldn't be much of a difference though, maybe a couple mph.
I could hit 92mph (rev limiter) with both belts
@@ftorvideo Interesting, good to know there wasn't a difference.
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲🤯🤯🤯🤯
Try this test or three times to satisfy your need which is better,
. You tested only twice........
.06 is not statistically relevant. That is the difference of dropping a deuce.
3.70 0-60 MY PREDICTION!
😂😂💪🏼
You should have run it again. You're take off was slower
There is no reason why there would be a difference.
Awesome useless video
Making uselessness look good!
The montage was grear
