Savage UTV reached out to engineers from both Polaris and Can-Am to make sure the belts were being positioned in a manner which would best preserve their integrity. Their explanation: The idle bearing on the primary clutch of most UTV's has an outer diameter of 1.75". This means that when the vehicle is at rest or idle, the belt is being bent around this bearing. Once throttle is increased, the inner diameter of the belt increases until the throttle is lowered and then the belt returns to its original position. The Savage UTV case was designed to make sure that your belt was stored in a clean, cool, closed, case with an inner dimension of the bend in the belt never going below the idle bearing dimension of 1.75". If you are still concerned about the bend in your belt while in storage, randomly adjust the position of the belt in the case and remove it from the case when being stored over extended periods of time. We have a more detailed explanation on our Savage UTV Youtube page.
