Product Details

The Gates G-Force WorkHorse CVT belt line is focused on hard-use power sport applications, especially vehicles with engines below 800cc. This belt uses a double-notched profile and aramid reinforcement to help maintain belt stability in CVT systems that see frequent acceleration, load changes, and trail conditions. If you are replacing a worn Gates 23G3805 belt or cross-referencing a Dayco HP2020 application, this part is built to match the specified dimensions and CVT belt profile.

Search terms such as Gates 23G3805 CVT belt, power sport CVT belt replacement, and automatic CVT drive belt for UTV applications all point to the same core need: a correctly sized belt for the transmission system. This part is also cross-referenced with Dayco HP2020 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Slipping or inconsistent CVT engagement
• Reduced belt response under acceleration
• Wear from heat, load, or trail use
• Noise or vibration from a worn drive belt
• Loss of transmission efficiency due to belt stretch or glazing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the top width, outside circumference, section, and angle before installation. Confirm the replacement belt matches the vehicle’s CVT specification and engine size requirement, especially on UTV and side-by-side models. Inspect pulleys and clutch surfaces for wear or contamination before installing the new belt, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure for belt break-in and tension checks.

Compatible With select power sport applications, including vehicles commonly searched as Honda Civic and similar model-specific CVT references only when the listed belt dimensions and application call for this part number. Fits only the applications specified by the vehicle manufacturer and service catalog data.
