snapped belt. how many others have done this?

[thatdirtykid]

On my bike (s3) it would be easier. You don't have to mess with the isolators. Cut belt (if it hadn't snapped) install sprockets and chain. But on an x1 or xb?

Belt replacement is very simple on an XB if you follow the "proper" procedure. Can even be done roadside...

Here is where I got my belt (recommended by another forum member here): http://www.steelthundercc.com/reardrivebelts.html Best price.  Best quality (get the Gates brand!) 

How do i know which belt on the site is for my bike? They are using different part nu,bers.

or you can buy my 04 belt coversion kit that i have listed on the OEM parts section! you should be good for another 60K miles if i am right!
BTW, my buell had 31K miles when i sold it and it was still running on original belt, no fraying or shredding, trust me i checked it every time i took it out to ride!

I'm on my third one in 35K miles. First one went to 21,000 and a power downshift to first while coming to a red light while messing with my iPod. Second was an cheap belt that snapped on a wheelie attempt after about 10,000
