Poor little monster

Ya, but he's still got to do the belts. You can ride the bike with out of spec valves, but if a belt snaps you're well and truly buggered.

I was thinking more of paying for adjustments v. DYI, not paying v. just not doin' 'em.

Thanks again for all the advice, I love this group!
You guys gave me some more things to think of and some more options.
I will be buying a new bike in the next two years anyway, I want something the Lovely Wife can ride on the back of (with comfort) and something better for commuting 60 miles a day on.
That being said, I think I will hold on to it, and ponder my options.
Is it possible to replace the belts yourself? and if so, is it something that could be done at a MOB wrench day?

Yes.  Yes.

It's not bad...the newer models are really easy actually.  The older ones have a lip on the edge of the sprocket that makes it tough--nearly a two person job sometimes.  You should check out your manual and get familiar with the process.  If you have questions post up before you start it.
