Well, I do have nearly 47,000 miles on my 2008 Buell 1125R...

I was told on Friday by a local independent tech that I go through belts about as often as chained bikes need their chains replaced.

And we both agreed that a broken belt has far less potential to damage other things such as engine case, swingarm, leg, etc.

Yes, you can replace a belt on the side of the road with only a few tools, mostly within the onboard kit as documented here by Zac4mac:

Emergency Belt
Abused belt is ON! Test continues...

I am at Duanes this evening and we are snicking over the chain/belt debate.

Chains on the trumpets.
I replaced the chain on my speed 3 at 23,000 miles and the sprint at almost 24,000.
Debs bike has over 20,000 and shows no signs of wear.
Duane has his Daytona 15,000 and no signs of wear.
I am replacing the ktm chain at 16,000 miles due to dirt riding.

I am not really dissing belts and can see the certain advantages. New chain technology is amazing. X ring chains are excellent.

I personally just think that belts don't give you any warning when there going to brake. Thats a major let down before a trip especially when you have to order a belt.

Stepping off the soap box now.

Chris probly has the best setup on his BMW ..........unless it brakes....$$$$
Oh hell, I'll catch hell for that on too.

I'm just lazy and don't like chain maintenance. I know if a belt or shaft breaks, I'll be doing this

Looking forward to seeing ya'll soon,
Chris

RocketRon, you gots to get your priorities straight man. Running is for being CHASED by bad people. We want to bring you back to the fold. We want Ron to come out and play with his street-pals. Remember you, me, Jimmy and that Ducati-guy having the Ne Plus Ultra ride in Cali? That shit was epic! Damn, Ron... come out and play. Please. Befor I cry.
