My OEM belt burned off at 2,200 miles. Hard to get to the UForce belts compared to say Polaris, since the housing is under the right rear of the driver's seat. I had a mechanic do it. Running the Gates standard belt now and it has worked well for about 400 miles, with lots of snow plowing last winter. It was only about $60 to purchase but about $150 for labor. I notice no difference in performance from the OEM belt.
