That's a great idea. I just checked mine at 23K this winter since I was in there replacing the HES anyway. Had fun picking the tiny glass and teeny pebble bits out of it. It'll probably go to 40K now!

Yes, the last broken belt happened 5 miles from home.Originally Posted by Happy Wanderer
Sure was glad to have a spare on the bike and tools not far away.
I asked the PO if he had ever had a new belt installed and he said "Don't think so."
New one will be here on Monday, same day as the new master cylinder for my boat trailer disc brakes. Busy day on Monday.

I've had one in my bike for the past 45,000 miles. I have an extra I carry on the bike.

BMW maintenance schedule calls for belt check/re-tension every 6000 miles and full replacement every 24000 miles. You are coming up on double the recommended interval so you'd best have a close eye on it!
They are known to break things when they finally fly apart so not worth waiting for total failure.
