Tv, the clutch has two bearings: radial sealed ball bearing on the outside, away from the gearbox and a needle roller bearing on the inside, next to the gear box. The outer, being sealed, should retain its grease until the seals fail. The inner has a separate seal that should hold the grease from getting into the cvt case and clutch but will have no control preventing grease from migrating inside between bearings.Great! Thanks Karl 👌

My first DT had 20000 MILES when I had to replace the belt because the winter mice had blocked the CVT cooling inlet with birdseed and the belt had started to disintegrate from the heat. Also there was that squeal when the clutch disengaged that was fixed with a real small dab of grease on the inner clutch needle bearing. 'Course I had you guys that calmed me down and reminded me of that bearing! All that to say this: I personally think 20000 km is way too soon. It is a real safe distance and sells more belts.

I ORDERED 2 BELTS FROM Taiwan BIG SCOOTER SHOP $132.00 for two belts + $ 20.00 for shiping,. I thought I would get two belts while they are on sale there, $ 66.00 per belt not to bad , it is better than $ 188.00 ea.
Seriously. That's how I do it.
Lifting it up abit to get the notches to turn thru will make it easier.
