What's a new belt cost in the U.S? Mine just broke, 2005 Firebolt with 17,500miles on it. Just curious before I visit the dealer here? Any other hidden costs? I assume its a simple D.I.Y job? | ||

My 06 belt was about $178. I believe. Took me an hour or so my first time. I would really look at your rear wheel bearings at that time too. Mine failed not too long after my belt went. might be good to get that out of the way too. Bit lower mileage than you have when these items were replaced. | ||

$450 U.S is the price for a belt here in Japan from the Buell dealer. Seems ridiculous! I might have to source one elsewhere. | ||

You are on the right track Paul - I buy directly from the States, we have the same problem here in Aus, I find it cheaper, even including USP and faster, although make certain of the part number because exchanging wrong parts is a pain, I buy from Appleton Buell in Wisconsin. I usually Skye them and find out about price and availability and give them the credit card No. It has worked well. | ||

When Buell says lifetime belts, do they mean guaranteed belts, as in they pay? | ||

By lifetime that means they have no service interval, and in theory should last the life of the bike, just like wheel bearings, and headlight reflectors.  ______________________ Pwning noobs on a Buell since 2007  (Message edited by froggy on May 01, 2009) | ||

When Buell says lifetime belts, do they mean guaranteed belt right up until they break and then they are past their lifetime |
