your secondary is shifting faster than your primary which will caue a loose belt at all times in your primary and heat and slipping and cord pulling and you have to buy lots of belts or fix your clutching, slow down your secondary upshift.................thats all asuming your riding less than 119 mph

I had the same problem with my M1000. Ended up being too much motor movement. Went with a solid delrin engine support and that solved the problem. I also found that heat cycling the belts also made a big improvement in how long they last. With both changes I went from blowing one belt a day to 6 straight days of hard riding without a problem.
