Belt drive problems
Hey folks, I have a friend with a Buell Eulyses (spelling) in 31,000 miles he has broken 4 drive belts also he has had 3 right rear wheel bearings go bad.
Any input? do you think these could be related? another note is he has gone thru 3 voltage regulators.
thanks
Carl

Can't help. Heard of issues with rear wheel bearings before on the Buells.
