OK. so since the Ski Doo needed a new belt I figured I would just get one for the Arctic Cat also. still waiting on the Doo belt.
I ordered a Gates G-Force 40G4683 belt for the Cat. the chart shows it`s the proper one for my sled, 98 ZL 500. I put it in and it is sitting about 3/16 above the secondary (sounds and looks correct).

I have 1.5" of deflection on the belt with a ruler and straightedge. I checked the engagement and it is just a hair under 5k rpm (book says 4800 so sounds correct). I`ve been reading they want 1"- 1.25" of deflection. it seems though if I had less the belt would be turning on the bottom of the clutch shaft!
I think I`m set up OK, just looking for a thumbs up!
