Age vs miles

Hi guys. My 2009 xciting 500 has 6,500 miles and has the original belt. Do you think its good still?

Probably. Inspect if in doubt since it is no biggie to see it.

I think it would be fine. The original belts are very strong. Pop off side cover and if belt has no cracks/lines in belt I would leave it alone. I have had 2 belts that have lasted for over 30,000 miles.  :-*
