Rear Drive Belt Condition
Inspect the rear drive belt at the intervals specified in the Periodic Maintenance Table. Shallow cracks on the back side of the belt (side opposite the teeth) should be monitored for other damage but are not cause for belt replacement. The belt should be replaced if it is frayed, has broken teeth, or has cracks extending through the core strands. No matter its condition, the drive belt should be replaced at periodic intervals. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or other qualified dealer.
Replace the drive belt and both sprockets as a set if the drive belt has over 5,000 mi (8,000 km) of service at the time of damage or failure.
