Belt drive conversions for Yamaha XJR 1200 & XJR 1300

Yamaha XJR belt drive conversion: low-maintenance drive & refined feel

Its main technical advantage is a play-free drive connection. Chain-drive characteristics such as snatch, abrupt load changes and unsettled shifting are significantly reduced. Power transmission feels more direct, running more harmonious and gear changes smoother.

Another benefit is long life. Depending on use, the stated belt life is approximately 40,000–60,000 km. Once correctly adjusted, no retensioning is required.
