I do mine at 60k intervals, if its any help.

I know some folk look at 40k miles as a suitable interval.

as it is a play thing and used only for about 2500 a year i was also wondering about the years between changes.

Book recommendation is 72k or 5-years (whichever comes first) under normal conditions, but half that if you go mental occasionally  :)
Replace the whole kit - not just the belt.
