Shreaded belts

I have a 90 mxr and run the GNCC series with it, in the last 2 races my son has shredded the belt each time. The first belt had 5 races on it, but had no wear. This last race was a brand new belt. Has this happened to anyone, or does anybody have any ideas. Thanks

Are you running a stock belt or a malossi belt?

belt is building to much heat check your rear spring to weak?

Stock kevlar belts, 2400 spring.

2400 koso to stiff causes alot of heat and stress on the belt also. The stock belt is not kevlar. Try a Malossi kevlar belt and a 2000 Koso spring.The idea is to have a spring that is stiff enough so the belt won't slip but not to stiff causing to much side pressure on the belt that builds to much heat. A worn or sticking rear pulley can also cause a belt to break.

this can also occur due to belt being out of allign, from frnt pulley to rear , a slight difference will cause much heat . if you have recently pulled or replaced the frnt variator , check spacing .

THE REASON IS YOU GOT A BAD FRONT VARIATOR THE SHIM IN THE CENTER BROKE LOOSE I WOULD LOOK AT THE FRONT BEFORE DESTROYING THE REAR COLETON CHEESEMAN RACING TWO TIME AMA FLAT TRACK CHAMPION ON DINLI T-REX 90CC WICKED
