749 Belts - Black Fibrous Deposits

  1. This is rapidly becoming the longest belt change in history. Has the potential to outrun @West Cork Paul sprocketgate thread (but I doubt it).

  2. No chance of that!
     
  3. 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". :(

  4. 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.

  5. Plus one on the above! As I said before. Way too much debris for the milage.
     
  6. It’s easy to say, just get on with it and fit the new belts when it’s not your bike!
