This part cross-references 125-4240U4 and XTX5052 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Slipping or inconsistent CVT belt engagement
• Loss of drive performance under load
• Wear from repeated trail or work use
• Belt flex issues in compact CVT systems
• Replacement needs for worn powersport transmission belts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt width, outside circumference, and cross section before installation. Confirm the CVT system is clean and inspect pulleys, clutch faces, and sheaves for wear or contamination before fitting the new belt. Follow the vehicle service procedure for belt orientation and break-in requirements, and match the belt to the correct application for Polaris Ranger, Polaris RZR, or other compatible powersport models using the same dimensions.
