stock belt specs

[cudaboy_71]

I'm finding it harder and harder to find replacement belts for my stock 500. Does anyone have the specs of the belt handy? I am thinking I'll just order a batch from a belt maker. I've done this before for custom projects. But, you have to know the length of the belt, tooth and pitch values. If someone has it already it would save me the time of having to do it myself.

thanks.

msh-direct has them in stock.

You won't find a direct replacement anywhere. These are custom belts. You might find a place that can cut them to the size you need width wise.

Pitch = 3mm
width (stock) = 4mm
length (stock) = 1344 pitch length, 448 tooth

MSH has ONE in stock. So, did experience. So, i ordered from them. Now they're out.

I'm just looking to stock up since they're becoming rare. Oh, and thanks for the specs. I'm sure those won't be hard to make for a custom belt maker.

Time to start buying outside of the us I guess. I got some parts from Midland and shipping was very fast and surprisingly cheap! Tho they even don't have everything, quite a few shops in canada do.

The parts shortages are unnerving. I know Corrado and the MSH team troll these forums. Any word on when parts will be back for the beloved Protos 500?

I found 3M belts with the correct specs.

Or you could just order one of these and cut a bunch yourself.

Only half joking. With the proper tools you really could cut your own belts with that.

I bought and tried a few of them about 3 years ago or so. They introduce too much drag as they are thicker than the stock belt. And they also seem to wear our quicker than stock. I still have one in my spares box.
