Drive Belts
For the Polaris ACE to work, it requires a drive belt. However, using substandard belts can negatively affect the belt-driven, continuously variable transmission used in the ACE. Fortunately, changing the drive belt is easier in the ACE compared to other side-by-sides. To replace the drive belt on an ACE 900 XC, you only need to remove the grease zerk and undo the two bolts holding the voltage regulator. After installing a new or aftermarket belt, it is essential to do a dry run before going on a ride. Regularly inspect the belt and follow the recommended replacement periods in the ACE owner's manual to avoid being stranded without a drive belt. Gates' G-force belt or Trinity Racing's Stage Five ACE drive belt are excellent replacement options, and the old belt can be kept as a spare. It is always a good idea to have a spare drive belt on hand for emergencies.

SuperATV drive belts are manufactured by Gates, so they both utilize carbon fiber tensile cords for better sidewall friction and Kevlar-loaded rubber that can withstand the hottest of temperatures. They won’t stretch or become warped as quickly as OEM ACE drive belts. They also don’t fray, and the adhesive gum extract used to vulcanize the heat-treated rubber will never succumb to the dreaded edge-cord pull out. The reduced stretching in these aftermarket drive belts allows for a consistent shift action at peak power output as well as better throttle response -- which means faster accelerations, fewer jerks, and more power to the drive shaft, axles, and other downstream driveline components. Be it the SATV/Gates drive belt or the one by Trinity Racing and other third-party UTV parts providers, stay driven and back yourself up with a new drive belt for your Polaris Sportsman!
