When putting the drummer on my bike i saw something scary on the belt!The hard layer that covers the tooth off the belt is comming of!!This day i ran it like hell and nothing happend but still it took my trust away!My dealer will order a new one,hopefully this is a one off kind problem.the bike has just 2440kms.So for the other 12owners: check your belt! |

Thanks for that BFB, I'll check mine tomorow. I wasn't quite sure exactly what to look for, but will give it a general inspection anyway. Is your dealer replacing it under warrenty? |

I did notice the same thing on mine but did not really think anything of it ...seemed to be in random spots but just the same ...Should we be concerned ? |

do many of the HD/Buell dealers stock anything other than filters and random boltons (if we are lucky) for us Buellers? |

Dave not all HD/Buell dealers are as wise as you or Brian's...they honestly (attitude apparent) wish Buells would dry up and blow away |

My local dealer stocks Buell fork oil and oil filters... I've heard they may even have brake pads too! |

thanks,but I want to leave my S bars on there,I am guessing I will have to raise the fairing up thanks again |

the s bars may fit under neath but it will be close. what you would need then would be fairing , mirrors nuts and bolts and bracket and figure out where to put the ignition switch. i think that would be about it |

I had my belt replace by my dealer under warranty at 2600 hundred miles. The defective belt was found by dealer when replacing tires. |

So, would 65 ft lbs be bad? It seemed like they were 100 ft lbs when I tried to break them. Thanks guys! |
