A new and troubling issue is occuring on the '09 Tmax. Moving off from a full stop, there appears to be some slippage in the throttle response. Where before I could lift my feet as soon as I opened the throttle, I now have to leave my feet dangling until I'm sure the bike is truly responding. There's no way to tell if the drive belt is slipping or the sliders aren't engaging.
Anyone else ever experience this and, if so, what was the solution? 16,000 miles on the original belt.
not wanting to assume anything, and since it was a 2009 bike, I felt 16000 miles seemed unlikely for a bike that old (mine is 2006 and has 70,000 miles), plus on the actual original belt ... so I asked for clarification.
I understand that you yourself are perfect, but you should have observed that others may make mistakes ... pardon me your grace :roll:
To the OP, if the bike has genuinely done such low miles on that one belt its entirely possible its as hard as nails and is slipping.
So as discussed above just pull the covers off and inspect the belt (measure for thickness and observe the side walls of the belt, feel if they are ultra smooth or a bit grippy (as they should be)).

My 2009 had 1100 miles on it when I bought it in 2013. As it sits now, it has about 40,000 miles on it - and that's considered very high mileage in the U.S.
I think my belt had about 25,000 or so on it when I changed it - and it looked perfect.

all of my mates do on average about 20,000Km a year on their bikes ... when I was really hammering my bike (not a Max) I did 90,000 in one year (which was my highest milage, and no I'm not a courier)

no, that's an assumption, I know people in the USA who ride big miles. I know people in Australia where 5,000Km seems impossible milage because they just ride a few Km, pull over and have a smoke, then go to a coffee shop. So its not country its rider and to me its more a modern thing, people don't seem to be riders anymore ... So assumptions asid, its just the OP doesn't put on miles. Thus I asked...
Yes. And some people in the USA have walked on the Moon. Nevertheless, it is unusual, and generally well known that MOST Americans have not walked on the Moon. But hey, carry on.
