Reflex 250 broken belt

[novaraptor]

Sux Maddog, but glad you found the issue. I changed my belt out last nite at just under 9000 miles. Gates powerlink. Did have to use my impact driver. Couldn't get enough slack to pull it over. There were small light cracks between the teeth, but other than some shuddering from the start, I think I could have ran this belt for at least another thousand. So, I'll toss it in the spares area of my trunk. I do have another cheap brand of belt that I bought last year as a spare, but after reading up some, I bought another Gates. (presuming it's not a lookalike knock-off). Sunny riding to you..
