Do you chain gang riders, use that Chain Wax to lubricate the drive
chain? I do.
I just thought, I, lately, talked to a fella who rides a Sportster, and
he said he has broken two drive belts lately, within 6,000 miles of each
belt. What's the factory guarantee of how long those dern belts 'spose
ta last? He said by golly, he was gonna install him a chain on that lil'
Harley. anybody ever hurd of that? hmm.

While it doesn't seem common, I know of a few that have went to chain from
belt.
2 broken belts in 6k miles is just bad luck, IMO. I've had chains before. I
won't be going back to chains with oil being slung around every time they
need lube.
96k miles on one belt so far here.

‘‘Yeah, I know it, my sonNlaws 22,000 Harley's manual says:
the belt is guaranteed to go 9O,OOO miles, that's what he told me. Yeah,
you are right, just ****y luck for that fella. Yamaha crusiers have belt
drives, and air cooled engines, I did'nt realize that till a friend of
ours bought him uh', Royal Star,1700.
Wakko, almost let it slip ma' mind, and that is the topic here, using
the new Wax lubricant, absolutely does'nt mess up the back wheel rim, no
fuss, no mess, wonderful stuff, ruff. (bjay)
