Author Message   Gman5700 Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 02:03 pm:        Does anyone have any sources, other than the dealer for a replacement drive belt? I have looked on Buell Parts and cant find them there on on motorcycle susperstore either. Just tryin to make sure i'm not payin too much ebay also has none for the 1125r up for auction. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.   Froggy Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 02:15 pm:        Currently we are stuck getting them from a dealer. The cost is about $160 depending on which bike it is for. Some of us Uly guys have been looking at a possible non-dealer source for belts.   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 02:20 pm:        American Sportbike - A fine BadWeb sponsor. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/18024.html   Avc8130 Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 10:30 pm:        I have a brand new one in the box for an 1125R. If you are interested, PM me an offer. ac   Tbones1125r Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 11:46 pm:        i thought they were supposed to last "forever"?   Carbonbigfoot Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 12:12 am:        I got one from my local cycle accessories shop (Dynamo Cycles-Corpus Christi) from Gates. Matched up the teeth and width, etc, and found one that was right. It lasted about 4 months then left me on the side of the road. (This was on my XB, Pre-CR...) Buy the one from Harley/Buell. It's worth it. Rob   Froggy Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 12:19 am:        quote: i thought they were supposed to last "forever"? Yep. Shit happens and they break.   Kevin_stevens Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 01:43 am:        My "forever" belt lasted two months. To be honest, having the muffler bolt back out and lock the idler pulley at 60mph probably contributed to the increased wear rate. KeS   Xnoahx Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 02:15 am:        Dont confuse lasting forever with a service life with no scheduled replacement. A chain will wear out, the belt wont. They can be subject to damage though.   Court Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 06:02 am:        Think of the windshield in your car. It will last the life of the car UNLESS something happens to it. I just lost a windshield in a 2 week old car. Fixed it. Things are fine.   Blackflash Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 07:40 am:        My belt snapped at 14k.Just riding with all the shields on and it snapped.No load even.I was just rolling around.   Zac4mac Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 11:08 am:        The belts are very tough now vs. a few years ago technology. I have a belt on Loretta with over 7000 miles that rode under the seat, coiled up tight, for two months. Thanks again, Court! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/440981.html?1238212241
