It's been almost one year since my last belt breaking/ replacement. I commute on this 2006 Reflex daily, and was told that the belt would last app 10k miles.
Thought that was rubbish. Opened it up today to have a look, with a pre purchased Earlandson belt in hand. The Honda replacement belt has gone 11k and it looked good, upon closer inspection I chose to replace it. It's dimensions were OK but it was hard and showed a few cracks on the inside, between the ribs of the belt.
Test drive to work today, WOW what a difference, the engine dropped 600 RPMs at the same given road speed. This not only increased top speed possibility but would help fuel mileage at lower cruise speeds.
We're just getting into the really sweetest riding weather and I'm happy to be ready. Finally the asphalt isn't baking my ass off going into work. Sub 90 deg.
