Belt replacement
10/22/05 at 16:50:53

Since I had it apart did the rear brakes - looks like the oem suzuki may be a better part than the new EBC's - the base metal of the shoe is cast aluminum - might run cooler and certainly much lighter than the ebc'c we'll see - anyway a few months ago i picked up a used drive belt with 1200 miles on it for like $60 - glad i did - the 22k belt on the'95 looked good but once i took it off and would bend it the rubber is cracked in most every grove - would it have gone more miles? - for sure but decided not to wait for it to fail - had a rock punch through here -

I'd bet we're pretty safe on the savages -just doesn't take much to total one out - fold the fork back, road rash the tank, and a dealer's labor and parts retail would likely total a savage. Now a late model hybusa engine for sale might be different story.

That is a great pic of the belt. Good enough for the archives.
