    Belt drive

    Yes a belt drive has been done by Kaw_ _ _ki for the KZ 250 in the 80's.
    I too have givin this idea some seriouse thouhgt just as Buell has done.
    The new 2004 Buell's XB12R has a new design belt good for 100,000 KM that is twice as wide as a 630 chain. It will work but will need some careful measurents and handywork. the project will cost you $850.00 Canadian but cheeper in the US by 25%. I think I will stick with my 630!

      I parked beside a Kawasaki 440 or 454 that had a belt drive on it. I suggest finding out the distance between the pulleys before buying anything.

        The Vulcan 500 is also belt drive but the belt is really expensive ($400+) and I haven't found another source other than the Kawasaki.
