That is unlucky - hope you get it sorted soon. It's also slightly unsettling for me as I'm about to embark on a trip to the Nurburgring on a bike with, erm, just over 8K miles on it!! I'm taking a spare belt and the tools I need just in case the worst should happen, though still don't fancy doing this at the side of the road. Fingers crossed I won't need to, as the job is made just that bit more annoying on the XT by the luggage rack attachment to the right foot hanger, which is a right bugger to get to.

Question for you. Are there any telltale signs on the sprockets which might indicate something having gotten between the sprockets and the belt? The last time I had my rear wheel off I noticed evenly spaced small chips on sprockets teeth. No idea how they got there. I attacked them with wet-and-dry to ensure no sharp edges.

I was talking to a fella yesterday down the local bike cafe on an X1
I noticed he had a new belt fitted and asked him about it.
Yep it had snapped and according to him told them there was no way he was going to pay £180 plus labour to have it fitted,and it shouldn't have snapped at 12k in the first place.
In the end he said he paid £60 and they did it as a goodwill gesture.

i twanged his new belt and it was as tight as a tight thing
I told him but what can yer do

The drive belt on my 09 Ully has snapped, only done just under 8K on it & the bike is still in warranty.

I'm waiting for Lincoln HD to see if Harley will pay for it under warranty. Should I also complain to HD UK??

Here's a photo, no warning snapped whilst overtaking

Just to up-date you all.

According to Lincoln Harley, I also need new pullies, it looks like something has got between the belt & also damaged every 5th tooth on the pullies.

Thank fully the warranty will also cover this
