Default bummer...drive belt broke

not sure how it broke, but as i was getting ready to pull out of the driveway i saw something on the ground and sure as hell it was the drive belt sitting there.


anyone know of a good place to buy online? i am going to call a few places here tomorrow to check pricing. talked to the stealer and they want $240 for just the belt. he said it wasnt too bad to DIY

last ride was on tuesday night. everything was just fine. last night i moved the bike to its normal spot in the garage (just pushed it) and all seemed fine. this afternoon, i rolled back out of the garage and turned halfway, got off, closed the garage, got back on. as i got on the bike i saw the belt partially laying on the ground. shut off the bike and rolled it back in the garage.

no clue what happened, didnt hear anything, just saw it broke and laying there...
