Roadstar 1600/Belt drive

Roadstar 1600/Belt drive

Alright lads,

Anybody have one of these or had one ?

If so is there anything that should be checked out on em, know issues etc

Thinking of getting one, was looking at one over the weekend , had a lot of surface rust on it , but what caught my eye was surface rust on the belt itself.

Haven’t a clue about belt drives only ever had chain and sprockets

I am presuming this is bad yeah ? like would it cause the belt to snap sooner rather then later?

One other thing I noticed is after the bike was ticking over and stopped, it sounded like water rushing around the block, not just your usual ticking noise. Wasn’t just me, lad that was with me heard it too :lbhbh:
