lt80 belt from an autoparts store?

[atrus96]

Has anyone used a vbelt from an autoparts store on an lt80/kxf80? Im looking for a part number as the belt broke on my kids quad due to a messed up front clutch/sheave assembly. The cost of the parts to fix it is high due to needing a new front fixed drive plate and i was wondering if i could save 20 bucks by using a vbelt from autozone/napa/o'reileys. Anyone ever done it before? I cant seem to find any info about it anywhere online.

Ask them to cross reference the number on the belt, I think Mitsubishi makes the oem belts...

Yea i called and gave them the numbers and they couldnt cross it. Guess im just going to have to take whats left of it down and try to match it up.

I highly doubt you will get this V type drive belt from a auto story. I know for some snowmobiles they make cheapo no name belts but I am not sure about the Suzuki ones. You should be able to get one for under $30...

No auto type belts available that I know of.
There are other than Suzuki belts I see on ebay.
Ask someone for a old used one. The used ones run better anyways. :)

Check out your local bearing supplier. My local Maguire bearing has more V belts then I can shake a stick at.
