    The belts are non-serviceable, non adjustable and have no specified replacement life. maintenance free.

    Some break, some last the life of the bike.
    Slightly more than a chain and sprockets.

    Oh good choose dude, well done.

    Just be careful when you've had her about a month and you're pulling up to park huh? Might fall down and break a lever. Maybe an indicator. Or something. And look like a right pratt...
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Then you discover that Buell parts are some of the cheapest going - when you can get them.

    I know just the person to help with ANYthing BUELL related - including parts...

    Although he is in Palmerston Nth, don't let a mile or two prevent you from getting really good old fashioned service from someone prepared to go the extra mile.

    PM me if you are interested
