The kevlar can tolerate a lot more heat than a standard belt but that's not nessarily a good thing. If the cvt is getting that hot I would want belt failure as a indicator rather than cook some bearing , gears or gall a shaft. plus the kevlar will wear down pulley surfaces faster than the standard. though all belts in time, wear ridges in the pulley surfaces, the kevlar require frequent replacement of the variator and clutch pully.
