Belt Guard

[Yamadog]

It (the 8JP) wasn't even good enough for my stock machine. I went through 2 of them in 2000 miles this winter and they both have some pretty good wear marks and the black is all over the inside of the tunnel and I had to use some light emery cloth to get it all off my clutches. Having been riding Yamaha's with 8DN's all these years I was like what, I have to change a belt in the middle of the season. What's up with that?

See its not just us turbo guys! Last year I was riding with Yamaha Tim and he blew 2 in one weekend. The next week I was alone and blew one 15 ft from where he did. Rode up into Greenland at Pats Yamaha, came back down and blew another one not 100 yds from the other 2, I thought it was a haunted trail

I heard too many issues with the 8jp belt so I converted mine before I even rode it

See how much $$ our bitching saved you!

I would call an education not bitching

The tie rods polish up mirror like the clutch guard too. Couple minutes a piece.

changing the belt with the guard on is a royal pain. from my point of view the engineer designing this part should have to change a belt at 25 below by him self, which is it bolted on or riveted on, pick 1 not both. my whining is over. has anyone drilled out the rivets
