If you check it for cracks and it's fine, then I'd keep riding it. My first belt lasted 53,000 miles.

Belt change?
I have a 2013GT with 12000 miles. After nearly 10 years should I change the drive belt ?
I haven't adjusted the belt tension, but have checked it from time to time and it's always in spec.

Changed mine at around 23000 miles and 11 years, It had a few crack and one small chunk out. I could have pushed it further in all likelihood but chose to change it out. Many folks have sweated many more miles than that.
If the belt looks good, no need to change it.

Thanks for the replies. I will just keep running and checking it.
In particular, when checking belt, look carefully on the toothed side for signs of fine cracks across the belt in the valleys between teeth.Thanks for the replies. I will just keep running and checking it.
