FJ, Does the cush drive last any longer with the belt on ? Mine is ducked after only 10K miles, apparently thats normal.

I'm not sure of the specifics of the liners for your pulleys but they will react the same way in the long run. I have been looking at the belt drive conversion but at that cost I'm happy to stay with chain, also too, so that I can easily adjust the ratio to settle with one that suits my riding...

Would it be so bad to refit chain and auto oiler, allowing you to do the same ? If you're pretty sure the squeaking is coming from the belt drive try a very light oiling in GT85 (PTFE based spray oil), we did last year to an old kwak and it's still good...
