Alright so I got my 03 XB9S last summer.
About 2 months ago my clutch cable snapped. The other night the drive belt decided to snap! So, I'm coming to the conclusion that the bike has some aged parts on it.
my questions are:

1.Whats likely to go next?
2.How many teeth do I need on the new belt?
3.Where can I buy a new belt?
4.The tensioner makes some noise when I back up should I change that too?


The bike has 18,xxx miles on it. I ride frequently and aggressively.

Any input helps :)
 
definitely check the bearings, and if you want changing the stock oil pump drive gear since they are prone to get stress fractures.

does your fork oil need changed? fork seals?
 
I do remember the last owner telling me that the fork seals had just been replaced.
 
What do I need to look for while checking the wheel bearings? anything else?

I'm starting to feel enlightened.
