This happend just 5000km after the V-2 has been installed with the 3.125" pulley.
I am wondering if the extra heat by the shared oil with the engine caused a belt failure or of maybe one of my pulleys was not perfectly aligned. Nevertheless I will get the 2.87 pulley installed this wednesday and I already have a Gates HD belt ready for installation.
Do you guys know any alternative for the gates belts? I am looking for a reinforced or extra strong one in particular which is compatible with the 2.87" pulley!

What size belt were you running with your 3.125" pulley? I've only had issues with the wrong belt size back when no one knew which belt size to run on the smaller pulleys.
