How often should you change your drive belt??? What kind of mileage can you expect out of it before replacement??

Check it freequently for cracks and stones.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;A stone puncture in the middle of the belt is not too serious.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;A puncture that cuts the edge of the belt should cause you to replace the belt.&nbsp\\; Barring a tear/puncture near the edge of the belt, or other obvious problems, the belt should last 60 to 100 thousand miles.

+1 on the 60-100,000 miles. It does depend on your riding though, just a bit.

+1 Yup, what they all said.
&nbsp\\;
Those new belts are tuff stuff. Course, if you ride on gravel roads alot and dusty situations it could shorten the life a bit.
