Title: Re: new belt drive = $$$! Post by dropoutjohn on 07/01/08 at 16:39:48 i got an autograph tree seed caught in it a year or so ago and it did tear then but only a little and it's getting worse only recently. i don't see it lasting more than another month or so... i know i could score a used one but that would take all the fun out of an excuse to modify my bike! |

well... top end on the north shore is 60-70ish when the tourists get out of the way. ;D but yeah, about 40-50 mostly. and yeah sluggo, i want a low end monster... but a tame-able one. i think the 17/43? (i'll have to check the chain conversion posts) i think hutch recommended that ratio for non-highway. |

Title: Re: new belt drive = $$$! Post by Rogue_Cheddar on 07/02/08 at 18:19:10 I had to replace my belt when I first got it two seasons ago. Shopped around and got rediculous quotes, said screw it, got a Clymers and dood it myself. New belt from Bikebandit ran me around $162 at the time. |

i would not even dream for 1/2 a second of paying someone to put a new belt on. $209.99 is just for the part down at the suzuki dealer... |

[/quote] Well, I was new to the whole thing and little leary of my mechanical capabilities, is the only reason I shopped around at first, but since then, I've adjusted my valves, replaced brakes, swapped exhaust and rejetted the carb, and it's still running. :o |
