i cheaped out

No, but they are closer to spec than a belt with 2000, 3000, or 6000 miles on them. My main point is that if you are running a high mileage "skinny" belt without adjusting sheave clearance on your primary, you are costing yourself performance.

and bought the 140$ polaris belt and sure as **** burned it up in under 400 miles..now i gotta spend the 200..any suggestions for a much cheaper backup belt to get outta the woods if i need to? like 40 bucks?..polaris 800 pro r 2012 and 2013

To get to your original post....400 miles and the belt blows is something other than the quality of the belt.
Something is out of adjustment or tight.
I'd be checking or having the sled checked out for clutch alignment, broken mounts, tight bearings...etc.

I don't recall the rushes being belt eaters.
The AXYS has 2500 miles on it and last years indy had 3000 when it moved along.

Yep compared to doo clickers but not sure about new edrive + once you put in spacers or go to far the never ending squeal....not worth it to me anymore belts last forever not much gained by peaking defelction on Apex.

Put the mouse down and go adjust your belt!!!!....LOL

no doubt a high milage belt is way thin but new belts are +- .030 different I like to check them before I buy lol
