Hi guys, this is my first belt driven bike: Yesterday after a short run i checked my buell and have to recognize that my belt shows white "stuff" at the side... (little fibres coming out) Normally its sealed black with rubber @ some other places.. Should i contact my dealer, or is this just normal? Thanks ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

The belts are made similar to a loaf of bread, and each belt is a slice of that loaf. It is normal to get some some of the fibers that were cut in production to loosen and come out a little. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

What Froggy says....also during the belt cuting/sliceing the cord fibers may not be at "exactly" the same angle, so you may have a partial cord at one or both sides of the belt. No harm. Mike |

Whew, glad someone else had this problem. I high sided pretty hard at the track, and went down on my right side. Broke off the peg and bend the back of the rear set a little. Long story, but I had to cut the belt. When I got a new one I noticed it was rubbing on the outside on the smaller pulley and exposing some of the fibers. Glad to know, its ok. I was afraid I had bent my tensioner pulley mount and it wasnt tracking straight. After a 30 mile ride, it was not rubbing anymore, and seems fine. Thanks OP for asking the question, so I didnt have to! |
