yes, and it's probably cheaper to.

yes it will fit. and its roughly $65-70 alot cheaper than the cat. just remember anything for your motor is suzuki made. so you can go suzuki parts and get off alot cheaper than buying cat even though its the exact same part.

Where are you finding a Suzuki belt for $70.00? A OEM suzuki belt runs about $140.00 for the cheapest I've found. You can get the aftermarket cheaper but don't know if dealer will stock them.

If you read his post, he is saying that the Suzuki belt in $65-$70 cheaper than the Arctic Cat one....He didn't say it cost that much.

My interpretaion was

Iti's roughly $65-70, A lot cheaper than the cat.

I was hoping he could get the suzuki belts that cheap as I wanted some. :lol:

Just got back from vacation. The zuk belt cost me $165.00 CDN. The dealer said it would not fit on the phone went there with what was left of the belt with part # on it and he goes `hey thats a zuk part #' LOL. I want to thank you guys for letting me know that it would fit, thats is what makes this site so great all the knowledge. As for why my belt blew I am not to sure I was pounding on it pretty hard in a big pond doing wheelies and playing in the mud. I was riding with suzukis and yamahas and they were all amazed at what the cat could do untill the belt blew. My Sheaves have wear marks in them from being heated with a wet belt (thats what the dealer said. Thats from before I snorkeled) he said that being wet and slipping really weakens the belt. here are a couple of pics
