Buckster Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 When the belt on my bike finally says goodbye which could be another 50k miles yet I will need sprockets as well. On a whim I was looking online at them and they go for a bit more than £400, ouch. However I found a dealer selling off new old stock and got him to £106 for this one which is the standard one for my bike. It will save some dosh down the line. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Smart thing, to wait until the belt says goodbye until you change the sprockets! Having said that, how long will that be considering the current use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met the guy who owned the V.N.Gaia Harley shop back in 2002 or 2003 and gawked at his Road King with over 200.000km parked outside the shop, used to go from Porto to Biarritz quite often and still on the original belt. Character and characterful bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I know someone who got 130,000 out of a belt, they also had over 240,000 miles on the same engine as mine with just routine servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
