For a little money you can find a 7 year old Bandit which is much cheaper to look after...

IMHO!!!! I would run it til the belt failed (unless there was obvious damage) what's the worst that could happen? you could lose all power at an inopportune moment,(it's not as if the engine would sieze to a stop) you could say that you should ride as if that was a possibility anyway, & I'd take a flailing belt over a flailing chain any day.
I reckon you should find out how much you can sell the engine for on it's own, offer that & then there is only an up side for you.
