Victim unknown. I think it may have been taken in Carl Harrison's workshop? emzedder sent it to me after sending a picture of his belt which has been penetrated by the tensioner bearing balls! The belt remained intact and he got away with it.
Good night for scary stories…

I hope emzedder doesn't mind me posting his picture.
It's a 900SS. It looks like the balls were pushed through the belt as they got between the belt and pullies, I hope they caused the cracks too, I'm sure he doesn't let his belts get like that! I meant to change my tensioner bearings at 30000 miles but didn't, I'm up to 40000 now and no problems. 30000 seemed to be a common time for them to fail, from posts on here, but most seem to just go on forever?

Yes, I made a mental note to change mine at 30,000 miles too. ..... which is just about where we are now. Like yourself though, the plan had dropped below the radar lately. And ditto again .. I'm guessing I would probably get away without doing them for a few thousand miles more. Various other jobs are planned for the winter, so I may not get round to it just yet but I think I'll write myself a reminder note and stick it on the shed wall. Otherwise its one of those jobs that I could easily let slide indefinitely. |

I had a 600SS belt snap horizontally across the belt, the piston wasn't as bad as that.
On the carbie and IE's I remember the double bearings were a pig to remove, the bigger single deep bearing was a doddle. My S2Rs feel nice at the mo (changed the belts a few months ago) so I'm leaving well alone.
