just saw one on ebay for 160.00 made by carlisle dont know how good they are CarlisleCarlisle

 Did you break your belt, or just getting a spare?  OEM belt should last a long time if its not installed too tight.  The factory belts are around the price you wre quoted by the stealer.  Might check the classifieds and see if someone has a used belt from the chain conversion kit switch.

Ok....I nearly had a heart attack when I called my stealer yesterday to get a belt for my '06 RSW. $476???? WTF? I thought they were quoting me on a shaft drive? I've seen some posts here for the Gates kevlar reinforced belts for under $200. Is this still the best option versus the OEM belt? If not, someone please tell me what is because, if I have to drop almost $500 for a belt, I'm done with Yamaha.

I just broke and replaced my belt with the Gates polychain, $200 from performance edge. My dealer said msrp for the yamaha belt is $475.  Try searching the ebay section of the classifieds on this forum.

There is also a new carbon fiber offering by S&S made by Gates that's claimed to be stronger yet than the aramid fiber belt
