many are using lowering blocks, many have stopped using. There are also many different lowering blocks so some may give s different experience. each to their own preference. There is not one right answer. Try it and you decide for yourself.

two opinions. yes it will change belt tension, no it will not change belt tension. so if it does what will you do? re adjust belt tension OR not use lowering blocks.
IF you have ever seen a broken swing arm you would know what long term impact i am talking about. my experience and yours may be different, due to the amount of miles ridden per year and aggressiveness of riding. Mine did not make it 40K miles. I do not know how that converts into KM. I ride 25K miles per year and ride very aggressively in the corners. I hope yours continues to work out for you. I would suggest you check your swingarm for hairline cracks on a routine basis.
