Does anyone know if gates has a replacement belt for the general? I Smoked mine yesterday pulling a friend out of the mud and now have a lot of chattering when taking off from a dead stop. Can I just sand the surface of the pulleys to remove any glazing of there is any to stop the chattering?

you can try cleaning clutches with brillo pad,last weekend I had some belt slippage and smoke climbing a hill,I have put about 16000 miles on the last two rzrs and never had this problem!it will be interesting to see if any one else has had this problem,

remember the rzr's had around 50-55 hp. 100 hp on the general. with more hp easier to smoke a belt. i to have an 800 rzr's about 14,000.00 miles of desert on it. i'm on my second belt. been looking at the general also .

RZR Turbo has over 140hp, RZR 1000XP 110, RZR 1000 s has 100, same motor as the General and it is probably the same belt.

You can check here.

EDIT: it shows a different belt, General only usage.

Todd at Hunterworks will probably know if aftermarket is available.

I have never had good luck with aftermarket belts in anything from BRP, Can-am and Ski Doo. Had great luck with OEM belts. The only thing I did with Commanders is put a Maverick belt on them.

I am surprised that Polaris would have a different belt for this buggy as it supposed to the same as the 1000S.

somewhere i read that it is all new clutching but havent seen it with out the cover to know for sure

The chattering is not from the clutch sheaves but the hour glassed burn spot in the belt. Definately need a new belt.

Smoked my belt as well. Not wanting to drop $200 for the oem. Find any aftermarket belts for your general?
