But you cleaned the back wheel and oiled the chain 100's times, you can't have it all. Andy |

Post subject: | Belt life anxiety |
As a new owner of a Buell, I can confirm that I suffer from 'Belt life anxiety'! ![]() My way of coping is to order a new belt, fit it, and keep the old 'un ready as a spare which can be left in the garage or taken on tour. It'll always be on my mind, though...."Will this be the wheelie that breaks the camel's back" etc. etc. ![]() Jon PS Scottoiler on 955i Tiger with touring reservoir. filled reservoir approx every 6,000 miles. C&S replaced at 24K & yes, back wheel stayed a bit mucky! |

If you are doing wheelies, get yourself a spare front isolator too... |
