My stock and Aramid belts stretched slightly initially, then haven't done much after that.

It's just that I only have 2 slots left on the rear and 3 on the front so after another 5 or so runs I'll be looking at replacing my belts. Seems an awfully short life for belts.

Oh, I'm running a 19 turn motor which is probably putting a bit of strain on it compared to a stock motor.
