Description
For over a century, Gates has driven innovation in belt technology to power the machines that move you. Gates® G-Force C12 CVT belt drives are engineered to navigate the toughest off-road trails with power and efficiency. The industry's first CVT belt with carbon tensile cord also features a trapezoid top-notch and rounded cog design for superior flexibility and heat dissipation, along with a unique gum adhesion that reduces fiber pullout within the belt extending the life of the belt. Gates combines material science and process engineering to create innovative products that provide performance, reliability and the strength to withstand even the most challenging off-road environments. Continuous innovation isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
WHY G-FORCE C12 BELTS?
- STRENGTH: The first CVT belt utilizing carbon tensile cord for minimal stretch and extraordinary strength.
- FLEXIBILITY: High-performance neoprene with a trapezoidal topnotch and rounded bottom cog design maximizing heat control and flexibility.
- DURABILITY: Carbon tensile cords are bonded to aramid fiber-loaded rubber with specially formulated adhesion gum, resulting in increased side-load resistance, preventing belt distortion and edge cord pullout.
- PERFORMANCE: Gain optimal power transmission for faster acceleration, improved throttle response and consistent shifting performance.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat ZL 800 Snowmobile (2001-2003)
The Arctic Cat ZL 800, a high-performance snowmobile, was produced from 2001 to 2003. Throughout these years, it consistently featured a robust 785cc liquid-cooled twin engine. This model was known for its blend of power and ride comfort, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts. During its production run, the ZL 800 saw significant advancements. While the 2001 models were carbureted, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) was introduced in some models starting in 2002, offering improved throttle response and cold-weather starting. Notable trims included the ZL800 ESR (Electric Start and Reverse) and the ZL800 EFI SS (Electronic Fuel Injection, Smart Suspension), which provided an enhanced riding experience with its advanced suspension system. The core 785cc engine displacement remained constant, but the adoption of EFI and Smart Suspension marked key evolutionary steps for the ZL 800 lineup. Frequently Asked Questions:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil System (2-stroke engine) | Regular check | The ZL 800 uses an oil injection system. Fill the reservoir with recommended 2-cycle oil. After prolonged storage, use a 100:1 gas/oil mixture for the first tankful in conjunction with the injection system. |
| Drive Belt | Regular inspection | Inspect for cracks and tears, replace if damaged or worn (estimated lifespan between 2,400 and 4,800 km). A new belt requires a 40 km break-in period at 3/4 throttle or less. Check adjustment after 30 minutes of operation. |
| Spark Plug | 50 hours or 6,400 km or 12 months | Inspect, gap, or clean as necessary, replace if damaged. |
| Air Filter | As needed | Clean the air filter. Service when the air filter restriction alert indicator lights up. |
| Coolant | Regular check, replace every 2 years | Check level, inspect all hoses and connections for deterioration. Add properly mixed coolant as necessary. |
