| Thing with not using the bike much is that the belts tend to remember the shape they have been in for a long time and as the engine usually stops in the same place it means the belts eventually loose their natural shape. The end result is that when you start the engine you get a tight spot on the belt and it breaks as the belt gets pulled tight.
For £30 or so its just not worth the risk in my opinion but hey, its your bike. |
