Exclamation Yamaha g2 shredded drive belt

Hey guys,

I just rebuilt the engine in my yamaha g2 and at the same time added the Jakes power kit on the secondary clutch. I was driving my cart today and after about 15 mins heard a weird noise then lost power to the wheels. Pulled over to the side of the road and saw that my drive belt was no more. The belt had maybe an hour of driving on it total. Any idea what could cause this? I ordered a severe duty belt as I was thinking maybe the power kit caused the old belt to die.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Lol wow, looks like it couldn't handle it. That is strange, might have been defective in some way. Looks like the teeth on the belt just peeled off pretty easily from the picture

I'm a fan of Jake's lift kits, nut there "white" torque spring, just to stiff, I recommend a "umax" OEM Yamaha utility car spring. I know you guy's are tired of hearing that That shreaded belt looks to be aftermarket buy the number marking. Hope the severe duty kevlar belt belt fix's you problem.

This cart is going to pull a trailer out in the desert at burning man, do you think the umax spring will be stiff enough for that? gonna need all the torque I can get. If it feels underpowered this year I'm going to do a clone swap next year but hoping I don't need to do too much more to it than I already have to make this year feasible.
