Where the hell is Sven when you need him!
Who's Sven and where the hell is he?
Could be something as simple as a bad ground wire. Saw it happen on a H D once. Or maybe some wire got worn through, and the vibrations causing it to short out intermittently. I'm going with electrical
Yeah anyways, haven't seen him on here in a log time, Sept. 19th was last post
He must be out riding....?
I'd also order a 1" belt if you have the 1 1/8" or a 1 1/8 if you have a 1 1/2"
Never heard a peep out of my belt and I'm not sure how bdm coulda used crappy belts, not to be an asshole but I'm kinda getting tired of hearing that this is shit that is shit bdm did this when bdm shoulda done that here's an idea maintain your bike keep it clean and check bolts and connectors maybe your problems will be less( this comment was not intended for anyone in specific) just my
Put my with yours!
Somebody, (not blaming BDM )
screwed up with my pitbull !
I ran outta gas once and had to push it across the intersection to the filling station !! 
Just had to be someone else's fault Maybe they shoulda put 20 gallon gas tanks on these things !! 
Pressure test your tank and jack the psi way up, might help your problem a little

Got almost 40k miles on mine, not once have I heard the belt squeal, maintenance is the key to keep BD's from letting you down.
Yeah, I could pressurize the GAS tank with pure OXYGEN !! That should give it a boost! Don't spose you'd wanna come sit on it while I crank the regulator up, would ya? I'll be right behind that block wall, It'll be okay, ( I think!)Pressure test your tank and jack the psi way up, might help your problem a little
Agreed, most of our bikes are over 10 years old with some miles. Everything is exposed to weather and seen a lotta use. I shouldn't be popping off cause my bike's in the shop right now. But hell, if you want extended reliability, buy a friggen Honda.Never heard a peep out of my belt and I'm not sure how bdm coulda used crappy belts, not to be an asshole but I'm kinda getting tired of hearing that this is shit that is shit bdm did this when bdm shoulda done that here's an idea maintain your bike keep it clean and check bolts and connectors maybe your problems will be less( this comment was not intended for anyone in specific) just my
My belt squealed like crazy. I did notice that the belt was a bit wider than the pulley so what I'm thinking is they put the wrong size pulley or belt on some bikes or got a bad order of belts/pulleys at one time and all were thrown in the same bin with good ones so over time some bikes got the correct parts and others didn't. A 1/8 inch wider belt would rub against the side of the pulley higher up and squeal.
I have 1 1/8" on mine with plenty of clearance, could be like you say, some bad batches..
So what's your number two prediction, the .1%..?
Yes.. spray before every ride seems like the only solution
