Probably heat and hard riding.
AZ is bad on belts, hoses, etc

I forgot he was in Arizona....
Besides heat, there is LOTS of flying dirt, gravel, etc...and that sheat sticks to stuff and builds up.....REAL fine dirt and sand ALWAYS flying around....
Its sorta understandable there....
I'd be interested in a REGIONAL or STATE thread/poll about belt breakage...
Just curious to see how much environmental factors might be to blame for belt breakage..... |

Indy,
Don't feel bad. You have 22,000 miles on that belt. Mine broke at 12,000.

Pretty sure my dealer would back date the service tag. Just keep your cool, explain it to your Service Manager and maybe he'd do the same.
Sorry to hear it broke.

Not meaning to hi-jack the thread, but when the belt goes do you need to replace the sprockets also? Would they replace it under warranty?
