I have had my 2000 Buell Lightening for five months. I snapped one drive belt in half. The second drive belt lost 10 teeth. What is the proper belt play with out a rider. Any Ideas why I keep breaking belts? |

It sounds to me like you are runing your belt to tight. I run mine so that I can move it at least 1 inch with no weight on it. Loose is best. You have to remember that your belt will tighten as the suspension compresses. |

It will also tighten as it gets hotter from running. Also check your pulleys for nicks or damaged teeth. |
