This is rapidly becoming the longest belt change in history. Has the potential to outrun @West Cork Paul sprocketgate thread (but I doubt it).
Hi Ricky, I've just changed my belts on my 999 last week, closely checked because of this thread. My belts were on more than 5 years with decent mileage in that time, but I had zero fibre or dust in the belt area...so I wouldn't put it down to "normal wear".
Thanks for that. As said earlier, I have done belts on this bike before and have never seen anything like this, which is my concern.
