The ones on the bike!!

Rattler mentioned to me recently that his had worn much quicker than an****itated, so I mentioned this to Chass yesterday.

Anyway, the OD2 technicians checked the belts today, and found that they were indeed worn!!!

So the team truck had to ship the race machine out to Louigi Moto for some new belts (and removal of the 800 pistons - it must be them!!)

I just thought I'd mention it, as our bike is only 1 year old and has done half a season on track, and 80 road miles before that.

You don't want a belt going at 12,000 revs do you!!!

The older, square toothed, belts on most of the 583's seem to wear even quicker. Phil's had actually started to delaminate from the fibres.
They were, as were Rattlers, new at the beginning of the season.

You only getting 12000 revs out of yours Dom :lol:
