Theory: early belt failures, I dumped my bike 6 months ago at @3K mi and replaced the belt, the new one just snapped (not shredded)at 10K mi. I have inspected everything, and this is the only thing I can see that can attribute to an early belt failure. I believe the idler gear is out of alignment and not riding the entire surface on the belt or not perfectly squared up. and other theories welcomed.   1125rcya Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2015 - 03:19 pm:        My belt broke at about 12k snapped. The original belt has been revised I believe. The hard take offs and wheelies are leading causes of early belt failures. My bike has never been down. Very well maintained.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, January 19, 2015 - 09:40 am:        I have a never-down 2006 Ulysses with 30k on it. Have snapped (clean break) two belts in that time, both on hard 1-2 shifts. With 150hp? 10k is nothing to complain about for belt life. Carry a spare.   Mhpalin Posted on Monday, January 19, 2015 - 02:09 pm:        I broke mine at 7,000kms never down 1125R with RT3 and ebr ecm.Hard 2-1 almost hit my buddy in the head with the broken belt freaked him out   Gemini Posted on Monday, January 19, 2015 - 03:02 pm:        Sold the bike so I can't give measurment. Snapped belt on missed/sloopy downshift 2-1. With new belt heard odd noise. Spent way too long checking, measuring, reinspecting. Found when wheel turned in forward motion, belt would track to center of bike. When wheel rolled backwards, would track towards outside of bike allowing belt to rub back of foot peg bracket. Normal. Spoke with dealer to verify. If you notice the rear sprocket has no outer lip. Should never be enough to fall off. Tried different methods to try and shim bracket to "correct" what I thought was wrong.   Advanguard Posted on Monday, January 19, 2015 - 03:20 pm:        I want to compare measurements with known NON dumped bikes on the LH side, I think mine has tweeked in @ 10 cm, with a tie down strap I want to try to tweek it back to stock.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, January 19, 2015 - 05:16 pm:        I hope that's a typo. You'd be able to see a 3.94" shift with the naked eye...   Advanguard Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - 11:36 am:        I dont know where stock is, Im just estimating, requesting quick measurement to see how far I need to pull my footrest bracket out
