A “smoked” belt will develop flat spots in it and this is especially noticeable when starting out from a stop…engagement will be jerky and not linear when smoothly and slowly applying throttle from a stop.

Even with a better belt I’d still use low when moving slowly. Any belt slipping on the clutches will cause more heat and heat is bad for nearly everything. Nice to know of a belt that give a bit more flexibility though. I just had to change out my original belt. Less than 300 miles.
