Hi everyone, lookin for suggestions on drive belt replacements for my lrs. Im at about 122 ft lb on this tune so I dont really feel its enough to justify upgrading to a chain drive but I do beat the hell out of it. I have about 26k on the bike and Ive never had a belt crack like this. Ill try to upload pics but they really dont do it justice. I check/adjust belt deflection every service.
So what do you guys use? Oem replacement? Or is there a better and tougher option out there? Thanks.

Yeah, agree with you Kraken... if that was my bike. People are different and with chain comes maintenance. If bike is stock with no big engine performances, then I cant justify chain over belt.
Chain if you have stage 2 or bigger or want to change the gearing ratio.
To be honest I havent looked at it yet. Its gonna be down for a while anyway (financial ****) so Im not in a hurry. I was mostly curious if there was any better choices for belts. Its a 17 lrs with a 117 so it does make some power but not enough to justify a chain upgrade.
