Tips for Maximizing Drive
Belt Durability
Riding style and conditions have a di-
rect impact on drive belt durability.
Your vehicle features a CVT system de-
sign that is optimized to offer the best
performance. The CVT and drive belt
have successfully endured thousands
of miles of durability tests. H owever,
to m axim ize drive belt d u rability and
to prevent pre mature failures, it is im -
portant that the operator understands
the limits of a belt driven CVT system
and adapts their riding style and speed
accordingly.
If riding in any of th e co nditions listed
below, BRP highly recommends not to
constantly hold the throttle wide open
(WOT) for more than five (5) minutes.
– High amb ient temperatures (abov e
30°C (86°F)
– Heavy loads: Passengers / Heavy
cargo
– Heavy drag: Soft sand / Hill climbing
/ Mud / Using a track kit.
After a few min ute s at WOT, partially
release th e accelerator and allow the
CVT to coo l down.
