Description
Bred from a rich history of experienced belt builders, the Dayco XTX belt is specifically engineered to maximize the performance of the most extreme, high horsepower snowmobiles. Beating the competition on the race course is just one of many aspects that sets the XTX belt apart from its competition. Specially formulated high temperature Polymer along with the highest level of engineered reinforcement proves to perform better in belt operating temperature and efficiency than leading competitors. Its innovative break-through design of deeper cogs on top and rounded cogs on the bottom yield the advantages of ultimate flexibility and longer belt life while being a better alternative to the original equipment belt.

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Filter (Oil Injection System) | Annually | Associated with the oil injection system. |
| Drive Belt | Check every 50 hours; estimated lifespan between 2 400 and 4 800 km | Check for wear or damage, or if performance feels off. The owner's manual contains specifications for track adjustment and belt tension. |
| Spark Plug | Clean after engine break-in; replace as needed | Remove and clean after break-in. Replace if misfires, rough idle, or loss of power. It is advisable to carry extra spark plugs. |
| Air Filter | Not specified; inspect and clean/replace as part of general maintenance | Typically inspected, cleaned, or replaced during pre-season or periodic maintenance. |
| Coolant | Flush every 4-5 years; check level and condition before and during the season | Check level and condition before the snowmobiling season and occasionally during the season to prevent engine overheating. The Skandic 503 is a 2-stroke engine. |
| Oil Injection System | Check reservoir level before every ride | Top off as needed. Running out of injection oil can severely damage the engine. Check for water infiltration and pressure test if components are disconnected or replaced. |
