ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT DUCATI UNDER THE VIN.

THE DRIVE BELT DEVELOPED A DEEP GROOVE TO THE POINT OF NEARLY TEARING THROUGH ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BELT DUE TO A ROCK BECOMING WEDGED BETWEEN THE FRONT PULLEY AND THE ENGINE CASE. THIS PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED IN VERY HIGH NUMBERS ON FORUMS DEVOTED TO THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE. ON ONE PARTICULAR FORUM, A POLL SHOWED THAT 29% OF OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR DRIVE BELT BECAUSE OF ROCK DAMAGE. TYPICALLY, MOTORCYCLE BELTS SHOULD LAST 50,000-100,000 MILES, MY BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 7500 MILES. AN EXAMINATION OF THE BELT GUARD WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THE BELT IS INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS DURING OPERATION.
