Still on malossi for me but only cos i got em cheap off Russ when he sold up, going back to standard after tho, they don't last long enough as said. Still convinced they give you a couple or three mph over the std but who give a toss when they last half the time.

Trying to take all this on board, how long should a belt and rollers last? I've got 2000miles on the clock now when would they be due a change?
As I'm used to the theory if it aint broke dont touch it mentality used on lambrettas, I guess I should change my approach to autos
