Every time I have a dyno planned, something happens. This time, 185 miles and 4 days after my 10k maintenance (@12k miles) at the dealer, my bike decided to strip all of the teeth off of the rear final belt to the wheel. Dealer claims that despite the 4300 miles I've put on this new engine, 2100 miles after the flywheel was done, I had had too many miles on after their work on it to warranty it. So I did it myself. Screw 'em. I decided on Drag Specialties 20mm Rear Drive Belt. Luckily, I bought it from a shop, not online, since after 4 hours of labor, it only lasted 2 hours of riding. Definitely going to a chain drive. Similar to 3Guyz, but I'll piece it together myself for $300, and have a better chain.

Fun, in a scary way. Like cresting the top of a roller coaster and flying down it...
