Gates G-Force belt for 2006 550 Classic

[desmobob]

I just received a new belt from Dennis Kirk. Their website shows the Gates G-Force 44G4553 as the exact fit for the '06 550 Classic. I just noticed that the Gates website says the 48G4553 is the correct belt.

Is Dennis Kirk recommending the wrong belt? Anyone using the 44G4553?

Polaris part # for your sled is 3211078 which crosses to a Gates 48C4553. You can replace the C in the part number with a G for the less expensive G-Force belt. Any of the 550 sleds will be fine with the G-Force belt.

Gates also responded to my question to them with saying the 48G4553 is a correct fit, but Dennis Kirk is recommending the 44G4553. The tech guy at Gates says the difference is the belt's side angle... 26˚ v. 28˚. I think I'll send back the 44G4553 and exchange it for the 48G4553.
