Product Details

Gates 16G3332 is a CVT drive belt designed around the needs of smaller-displacement powersport vehicles, with the manufacturer specifying use on engines less than 800cc. The aramid cord reinforcement, double-notched construction, and chloroprene compound are selected to support belt stability under variable load conditions, while the OE Performance rating makes it a practical replacement for worn factory-style belts. This part cross-references Yamaha OEM numbers 5UH-17641-00 and 5UH-17641-01 for the same application.

When comparing Gates 16G3332 against other CVT belt options, confirm the top width, outside circumference, and section designation match the original specification. For Yamaha ATV and side-by-side owners, accurate belt sizing is critical to maintaining proper CVT engagement and transmission response.

What This Belt Helps Address

• Slipping or glazed CVT belt surfaces
• Loss of acceleration caused by belt wear
• Inconsistent belt tracking in the transmission
• Noise or vibration from a deteriorated drive belt
• Reduced drivability from incorrect belt dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing belt width, outside circumference, and section before installation. Inspect the CVT system for pulley wear, contamination, or misalignment, since those conditions can shorten belt life. Clean the drive area thoroughly and follow the vehicle service procedure for belt break-in and tension checks after installation.
