You wouldn't believe how many people with Buells there are who piss and moan about their belt only lasting 15-20,000 miles and then needing to be replaced.

That's longer than a standard chain with no maintenance, no sprockets to replace, no chain to adjust.

The belt is the same price as a good quality chain.


They are pissed that they would ever have to replace a belt. These are also folks with 20-50,000 miles on a bike that is 3 years old.

How many of you guys with chains put 10-15,000 miles on your bike a year?
