i bought a 2002 mxz600 put about 250 miles on it and already blew a belt. seems a little soon. i was wondering if towing back my buddies xlt from a trail could have caused this.

Yes, I would say the towing did it. 3 of us with 2001 MXZ's are on the original belts with mileage from 3200km up to 4600km!!!

Towing is the easiest way to blow a belt. The belts are made for your sled and your sled only. DONT TOW more than 5 miles. It is especially bad in powder.

wow thanks for the quick replies i just posted this morning. and yeah thats pretty much what i figured about the belt. i just couldn't beleve i blew a belt so fast

snowmobiles don't make good tow vehicles it is a definite quick way to a blown belt. Take a quick look over engine mounts too. Bad mounts can cause bad torque on the engine and taht is a belt disaster waiting to happen.
