Title: Belt snapped... Post by johnnie on 12/02/08 at 02:52:03 Half an hour ago, my belt snapped :-/ What's next? Can it be repaired or do I need to buy a new belt? My bike only has about 20k miles on it, 8k of which I drove, the others were done by the driving school that owned it before me. Is it normal for a belt to snap at 20k miles? I must admit, I'm more the sporty kind of driver, and I really enjoy feeling all the torques in that 652cc box ;) |

Title: Re: Belt snapped... Post by photojoe on 12/02/08 at 07:29:37 Sorry Johnnie, you need a new belt. Start calling for prices, should be anywhere from $120-150. I bought a used belt off of ebay for $11 that I keep around just in case. By the way, in the future, this type of post would be better off in the rubber side down forum. You'll get a lot more responses there. |

Title: Re: Belt snapped... Post by J Mac on 12/22/08 at 23:07:00 Rubber cement and staples. Just joking. Well, it's one of the most necessary parts on the bike. Where are the chain conversion guys? I've heard that's pretty inexpensive. |

Title: Re: Belt snapped... Post by rigidchop on 12/23/08 at 11:26:02 its about the same price for the chain conversion. |

Title: Re: Belt snapped... Post by eanon on 12/25/08 at 20:30:59 If you're already minus a belt, then I would suggest a chain conversion. I went to a 17/43, and absolutely love it. Cost? $95, said and done. As many others have said, "It's like a totally different bike". There have been quite a few posts on it. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1174239333 If nothing else, its a good read! |
