I removed my belt guards a few months ago. On removing my back wheel to replace the tyre I was astonished at the amount of tyre that has found it's way onto the rear pulley and onto the tensioning pulley - I'll try to post pictures later - I use the bike mainly on the track so there is a lot more tyre debris involved but I'm wondering if this can contribute to belt failure? Anyone else had experience of this? | ||

Yes. I have experienced it and I have heard it can aide to belt failure, but have not had it happen to me. When I do track days I try and clean up after each run. | ||

I believe someone racing a Buell had a belt failure because of the build up of track snot. It may have been more than a year or so ago. I read about it in the racing section, but can't find the thread now. It may not have been a thread, just a comment made by one of the racers after a DNF. | ||

Glitch, I'm pretty sure that was this years Moto ST event at Daytona... or was it the 200 itself? But it was definitely an 1125r with belt drive... | ||

It just seems years ago I suppose.  I'm getting part-timers | ||

It was at Daytona Moto ST. Major build up and think it caused probs in the pit while changing it all out. Had signs off it on my 1 and only track day. |
