Author Message   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, June 02, 2006 - 12:20 am:        I was wondering if anyone carries an extra belt on long trips. How tight of a bend can a belt take before the kevlar strands break? I was thinking of coiling one up under my X1 seat. One more thing: I was wondering how much wear is ok on the front pulley. I noticed that mine has some wear on it. (66,000 miles) I fear that I might be killing my belt with a worn pulley. Or perhaps I should just relax and ride it?   Phatkidwit1eye Posted on Friday, June 02, 2006 - 02:35 am:        If I remember correctly, this question was brought up a while back. I think the consensus was coiling or bending your belt is not a good idea. If you're really worried you can always convert to a chain. Other than that, I say relax and ride!   Anonymous Posted on Friday, June 02, 2006 - 07:21 am:        Bending any belt other than the '06 Goodyear by folding it under the seat is a very bad idea. The new belt will tolerate it.
