Belt and juddering
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:24 pm
Hello all!
It has been a while since I checked in here, I know!
I posted a few months back about the "juddering" that I was getting on accelaration at low throttle. The shop at the dealer told me it was the front brakes being too tight, and when he adjusted them it improved quite a bit.
Recently it started doing it again. I took the bike in for my 5k service and the mechanic noticed the problem this time, called after he took the bike apart and said it was the belt - that it was "folding over on itself" and now needed replacement, as did some sort of sleeve.
My question is, would it be best to replace with a reinforced/kevlar belt, and if so, does anyone have any recommendations regarding brand/type?
Thank you in advance!!
