I like Guzzi. The shaft drive is great. The local Harley shops charge
1100 dollars to replace the rear belts on some models of the Big Twin.
Engineering at it's worst.

The rear wheel has to come out. Then the swing arm. The complete primary
cover also comes off, along with the clutch and primary chain.

It's over a half day labour. The belt is approx. 300 dollars.

I'll bet a lot of owners will be considering their options when trade in
time happens.

I deal with the factory shop in Milwaukee. They've been saying
since the belt first appeared that they don't even stock it because
breakages are so rare.

Are you seeing belt problems?
