I would asume a clutch kit would help you drasticaly

 

[blueline15]

yeah, im pretty sure a clutch kit will help you out there. you shouldnt have any issues with it after you do it. i like these guys http://www.hotseatperformance.com/psp/showprod.cfm?DID=29&CATID=248&ObjectGroup_ID=726

try giving them a call, tell them about your track and how you ride ect and they should be able to give you a good idea if their kit would help and how much. i know they have done field testing on it

i agree with blueline15 i like hotseat and if you just give them a call they are really great guys and will ask you questions and then tell you what you need and how much it will cost. i bet they have already had someone in your same sitution. they know there stuff!

 

[blueline15]

yes they do. ive been on the phone with them a few times for my customers when i was working the parts counter and their customer service was great. it seems like they have tried their product in everywhich way possible and knows how it will react.

like rRandel said, just give them a call, they will work with you to fix this problem, if any company that makes a clutching kit can do it, its these guys! and they have great prices too IMO

Thanks guys for the help. The best part of the story is, that I was riding without a spare belt, picked one up went for a ride 3 hours after getting one and that was when it blew. Talk about good timing.

I am running a heelclicker clutch kit on my 08 800 and it works great. This bike is rode very hard and I have not had any belt probs since I went away from the Polaris belt. The heelclicker takes some playing around to dial in but it is worth the hassle.
We have 3 800's in our group and they all blew a belt in less than the first 350 miles. We all switched to [from memory have to check the box] ultramax and have had 0 probs. Two of the 3 riders are 350lbs plus and have over 1400 miles on this belt without a clutch kit. My belt is of my 07 800 and now on my 08 with 1500 miles.
You hear a lot about how the OEM belt is the shit but when the dust settles it is usually[but not always] based on hearsay and no firsthand experience with anything else.

Thanks Juice,
I've been looking into the clutch kits, not to sure if I want to spend the cash. I've learned that the Prospector tracks are hard on belts and since I got the tracks with the 800 I don't think to me they are worth keeping, rather put the money towards upgrades. As far as belts I've run the OEM and Dayco, samething is what you said OEM guys said it was the shit and Dayco guys said it was the shit. I would like to give the ultramax a try if thats what your running.
P.S. If there is anyone seriously looking for a set of Prospector pro 2 tracks with low miles give me a shout.
