If you are slipping you need to learn how to properly set your belt tension, same goes for belt breakage. Its all about tension and alignment. Besides the obviously damaged belt. A belt should last well over 30,000 miles if not more.http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367894.aspxSun, 01 Apr 2007 03:07:54 GMT8399f489-498f-4cd9-b3dc-5610407ec0dd:367894Blk-Cdlk0http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367894.aspxhttp://rswarrior.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=367894I dont know about Gates--but I will say the Dayco belt sucks--They are too soft--my Dayco Panther belt slipped from day one---went back to OEM ----$275.oo from seattle sports Plaza--No tax from Washington---Gates Polychain is highly recomended though--Good luck...http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367893.aspxSun, 01 Apr 2007 00:08:36 GMT8399f489-498f-4cd9-b3dc-5610407ec0dd:367893Dice0http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367893.aspxhttp://rswarrior.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=367893Yamaha is proud of it's belt, and it's the inferior one. Get the Gates Polychain, as stated above. Even with overnight or 2 day delivery, it's a far better deal and belt, than the yami.http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367892.aspxSat, 31 Mar 2007 20:27:10 GMT8399f489-498f-4cd9-b3dc-5610407ec0dd:367892PapaJ0http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367892.aspxhttp://rswarrior.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=367892Phats has the Gates-polychain; Part #42780 1-1/8" - wide, 130-teeth $154.95http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367891.aspxSat, 31 Mar 2007 20:13:54 GMT8399f489-498f-4cd9-b3dc-5610407ec0dd:367891AlanH0http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367891.aspxhttp://rswarrior.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=367891Get the <b>Gates Poly Chain </b> belt...it has Kevlar fibers and is a stronger belt than the Daycohttp://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367890.aspxSat, 31 Mar 2007 20:10:46 GMT8399f489-498f-4cd9-b3dc-5610407ec0dd:367890wip0http://rswarrior.com/forums/thread/367890.aspxhttp://rswarrior.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&PostID=367890go with the gates.

The two from Phats are between $115 and $150. If the aftermarket belts are inferior, then I don't want them. But something tels me they are probably an upgrade if not equal to the OEM belt. FYI I have the high compretion piston upgrade.<br /><br /><br />Phat Performance has two differnt brand drive belts. Dayco and Gates. Which is better?
