Yeah thats what I thought. Ive read in hear that they should be lasting a lifetime but i just snapped my 2nd one a couple days ago.

I have seen the post about the quarter turn method in my travels so I will have a look at it again and make sure the tension is correct. thank you

I assume these things are not cheap? Look here if you are interested in the belt: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1466172778
