I wanted to have an extra CVT belt on-hand in case I suffer a break down on the trail.  My local dealer said he is able to order the replacement belt for $250 and it would take 3 or 4 days to get in.  Has anyone identified the belt dimensions and found a suitable Gates belt for trail repairs?  Gates belts are usually $55-$75, which is sure better than $250.

Welcome. Glad you were finally able to get registered. I don't think Gates is making a belt for the 1000 yet but I may be wrong. However we do recommend the Ultimax UA485 for the 1000s. We also have that in our information center. Here's a link:  http://cfmoto-forum.com/information-center/recommended-drive-belts-for-cf-motos/

The Z800 and z1000/950 are not listed as same belts and they are not the same belt.  Cfmoto and Ultimax both list them as different and I would not use one on the 950 that is from a Z800. They are 2 total different clutch setups and The 2 brands above list them as different for a reason.

OEM CFMOTO BELT NUMBERS...
This shows they are indeed different belts.  They are very expensive but they are the best belt to use if you want the best...
Z800

Z950
0JWA-055000-10000

For the 950/1000 we recommend the Ultimax UA485. 
UA484 is Zforce 800.

I put a gates on my 950 after burning up the ultamax. Probably my driving and not saying they are bad belts.

How is that Gates belt working out for you?  I need to replace mine on my Z1000, I've had the Ultimax UA485 before and did not like it and put the original back on, but I broke it this weekend.  I'd rather get another OEM belt before the Ultimax but it's double the price at ~$360cad and god knows how far away.  Waiting to hear back from a dealer on price and availability for it before I buy an aftermarket.

Just a wear/life update for anyone wondering, I inspected my stock belt recently.  After 5,500kms my stock belt width is now at 34.5mm, measured with calipers flat across a few outside teeth.  new gates belt is 35mm. service life is 33.5mm so about 1/3rd of life used.  No signs of cracking or anything else.

Good info. Thanks.
