Is the belt on the Warrior 1 1/8" wide or 1 1/4" wide?

I guess I got a ******* bike cause mine mics out 1 & 1/8 top width with a dial caliper. Maybe the sides are worn after 10K but my rear pulley is .020 narrower than 1&1/4 @ 1.230. Maybe I polished it to much & made it thinner.

Yours isn't ******* Church, for I too have been around a machine shop and I just checked my 2003 same width as you on the belt, but my rear pulley inside width is around 0.008" wider. LOL. It appears some of our members work with tape measures. LOL. Not making fun of anyone here, but in this case a 1.25" belt is too wide. a 1.219 which is 1 and 7/32's would fit if they made one. 1 and 1/8 is the correct replacement for the Warrior. If they had metric sizes I'd say use a 30mm width.

BTW - my bike has 608 miles on it. Yeah, that's all, I know.

OK I got the panther belt and its exactly the same width as the stock one, but the stock belt feels MUCH stronger to the touch and its all teflon coated. The Panther belt feels much softer andits not coated.

Does anyone know the power rating of the panther?

Dilema, go with the panther or just go with the 31 tooth Pulley and stay with the stock belt???
