| I was told somewhere long ago that if you leave the bike standing over winter, be careful because the belts can shape round the sprockets, etc and may take a while to shape up. It was suggested to run/start the bike until warm every 2-weeks to combat this!
On another note, Nelly found that one of the tensioner bearings had seized, equating to BLUE belt! This was probably down to a wet run out, beware!!!
So my only solution is to check the belts as often as possible, even if you remove them and put them back again/re-tension.
(Just to make you feel better, a Ferrari belt change costs around £1500???)
