Well, my cart has over 10K miles now and 7 years old. So I changed the belts last week. Got the tune up kit online for 40 some bucks which included two belts, air filter and pre-filter, and spark plug. Drive belt was easy. The generator/starter belt was a bi&H. My adjustment was at least 1/2 adjusted out, which was no problem removal after I adjusted it all way down.

the new belt would not go on. I had to remove the adjuster completely to get little more travel and barely got the gen. Belt to slip on. Had to pry the generator out to get the adjuster bracket two bolts started. Very little adjustment threads sticking through the adjuster bracket with proper tension on the gen belt. I did notice the engine don’t rev up so much now. Seen no difference in top speed. The belts had the exact numbers as the originals.
