Author Message   Mhartiga Posted on Saturday, May 07, 2005 - 08:46 pm:        I have had my 2000 Buell Lightening for five months. I snapped one drive belt in half. The second drive belt lost 10 teeth. What is the proper belt play with out a rider. Any Ideas why I keep breaking belts?   Koz5150 Posted on Saturday, May 07, 2005 - 08:59 pm:        It sounds to me like you are runing your belt to tight. I run mine so that I can move it at least 1 inch with no weight on it. Loose is best. You have to remember that your belt will tighten as the suspension compresses.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Saturday, May 07, 2005 - 10:30 pm:        It will also tighten as it gets hotter from running. Also check your pulleys for nicks or damaged teeth.
