I would doubt one would have a "burning" problem.  This is because the
normal driver response to modulate of the clutch lever to gain the
appropriate acceleration/speed would prevent this.  Of course, just as
one can burn the clutch on a car, the same thing could happen here.  I
offer the more friction, the less pressure you will put on the belt to
gain the same acceleration/speed.  Just like a car:  if you ain't movin'
more pressure might cause burning if you slip too long.  The nose
provides the final clue just before failure.
