To prevent being stranded by the unseen I am all about fixing things before they break, even if it is unlikely it will happen, I would think though that if you're an Iron a$$ and you do 25-30k in a year, this wouln't be necessary.   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239965 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2729 Re:Drive belt care 8 Years, 3 Months ago   SurveyWaters wrote: erizo wrote: warstar wrote: about 25,000-30,000 miles later, get a new one. why?

I don't recall hearing many being stranded by belt failure, maybe one, and it always seems they say i did this and that and then. So it's a self inflicted breakdown. I was told not to worry about it. So i don't and I do some ling azz trips!

Expert Boarder Posts: 519 Re:Drive belt care 8 Years, 3 Months ago   When I bought my ride, 4 years ago, it had this non-stop ticking noise from the back end, that kept up with changes in my speed. I couldn't figure it out until one day I was removing the lower belt-guard, and saw a rock about the size of a pinto-bean embedded in the belt... I pried it out with pliers, and kept on riding, with no problem!

Sorry to reply late. I bought a R* 2002 with 10 K miles for 4200. The seller even rode the bike to my home, great guy, great bike.
