WTB: used XB12s drive belt.

Or one compatible. Cheaper the better, but prefer decent condition. Its my daily beater.

Have a few leads on some just trying to get one quickly. Blew a new belt after 5k miles so I don't wanna blow another new one trying to figure out why it's doing it. I'm assuming there something wrong and it's not my spirited riding style. If its cause I'm riding too hard I'll just stock up on used belts. There's something wrong with my right wrist, honestly, I can't control it...

Seriously tho, it broke Friday and I'm already having withdrawls, I need one ASAP as possible.

Sounds to me like you would be a prime candidate a chain conversion [up] I have 33,000 miles on my oem belt

 

[tireburner1975]

Yeah I'm looking into it, but the kits are stoopid expensive. Any links to the DIY kits? Nothing I can't fab up myself, just not much time for research and looking around on my iPhone gets annoying.

BTW why isn't this site on Tapatalk yet?

but the kits are stoopid expensive.

well belts are $150-175 a pc and that can get expensive too. Most of us on here save our parts since things have gone out of production.
You are gonna be hard pressed to find someone to sell thier backup belt so you can pop it riding spiritedly like you claim to do.
I'm just trying to be honest and help you out.

BTW why isn't this site on Tapatalk yet?

I have no idea what that even means sorry [confused]

 

[tireburner1975]

Yeah, seriously looking into the conversions. Stumbled on to some old write ups. I'll look into it.

Tapatalk is an app for smart phones to make forums easier to navigate. I use it for every other forum...

You may need to check your tensioner. Those belts are supposed to have a life time warranty.

 

[tireburner1975]

I checked it last night. No knicks. .001 of lateral runout. I don't see why a tensioner would make it eat the teeth. The belt is staying together just ripping like 10 teeth off.

The belt is staying together just ripping like 10 teeth off.

Seriously? I think your screen name explains why the teeth are getting stripped off the belt. This will continue to happen as long as you ride the shit out of it. Burnouts are what is ruining your belt.

Surely this is a joke thread. You can't be that naive.

 

[tireburner1975]

Honestly don't do burnouts, it just pushes the front tire. I just do a lot of wheelies.

Just been using that screen name since back in the AOL AIM days...

Gonna try another belt if it blows I'm doing the chain swap.
