Well, just blew my brand new belt on test drive today.
I have a 07 BF 650I, I've got a Highlifter extreme clutch kit on it and I've snorkeled the in and out of the cvt.
Since I got the Clutch kit, I blew my original belt that had about 90 hrs shortly after putting the clutch kit in.
Then I got a new OEM belt and added a snorkel in and out of my CVT and blew the belt on my first test ride with the new snorkel, did it when I was riding a dirt road at top speed. I think this may have been because I had the snorkel pointing back and the air turbulence was pulling air out instead of letting it in.
So then I got this aftermarket belt that was about $30 cheaper than the OEM, turned the snorkel forward into the wind and took it out. Got about 1/2 mile into a top speed run of about 75kmph after riding in the bush for the first 15 minutes and then blew the brand new belt.
Any ideas????? I'm going to call Highlifter in the morning, I can't keep buying new belts, can't see how I could have overheated the belt as there was no rubber on the belt pullies like the first time I blew the belt.
