They make a belt conv for a V strom?? I may need to trade my ULY.. Did I just say that outloud?

At $ 1,095 euro you can have it, I'd rather have a chain.

Yep, 1,095 euros buys about 3-4 chains. Nice concept though.

why??????????

Because they're maintenance-free and last a long time.

DAMN! You buy gold chains???

1095 Euro = about $1423 US Dollars.

Err, actually yes



But you're right, if bang for the buck's the main criteria, the conversion kit isn't worth pursuing unless you plan to really rack up a lot of miles

and are great in gravel and dirt situations

and have they been shown to fail on the Uly or F650 in dirty situations? I haven't heard about any...

If there is proof let it be told, otherwise I think it is a huge assumption.

Plus you forgot the 19% tax = $1693.

Chain + Automatic Oiler = Miserly Belt Alternative

The real problem with the belt conversion is that you'd need to ride the bike 100K miles or more to get your money's worth. I thought males were supposed to avoid long term relationships whenever possible. A very cool concept though and perhaps more buyers would drive the price down.

Are you asking if the belts fail, or if they fail in dirt situations? There are several threads around here about ULY belt failures, but not from dirt riding. Though one fella punched a hole in his belt off road, but managed to get it home before the belt failed.

But, if designed correctly, the belts are easily replaceable on the side of the road.(aka Uly, and F800) The same can not be said for a kit that would make the Vstrom a belt drive. You'd have to pull the swing arm to get that beastie off.
