Default Service Bulletin M1439
There is a service bulletin out about belt tension on 2017 Harleys. My 2017 Ultra Limited was still 1/4 at 1,000 mile service. Min is 3/8s. So they know something is not right.

Is the belt on the SG that was stripped to fix the chip in the frame or a different bike?

Hey Doc,
Just so you know you are not alone. Mine didn't make 6k. Its at Harley now getting replaced. I have a 114 Limited with stock header and HD tuner and dealer dyno.
I do ride aggressively, but in over 300k on two wheels never lost a belt before.
110hp and 114 tq.
