One friend got his drive belt broken just after we came back from a ride to Temerloh. After replacing with an original belt, it broke again just a few weeks after that. Another friend broke his drive belt on his way to Penang.
I was servicing the belting when I asked the mechanic why it's happened. He said, one of the reason was because the moving part of the drive system was not properly serviced.
The auto clutch have got a moving part which function is to change the ratio of the final drive. This part must be taken off, clean and re-greased regularly. If not, I will not move in and out, thus causing the belt to be canstantly under stress during acceleration and hard riding.
Unexperience mechanics may not want to open this part because it was quite tedious. But, it has got to be done to minimised chances of broken belt.
