The tell-tale signs of a dying timing belt are hairline cracks at the root of the teeth on the belt. Then about 30 seconds later all your valves are bent.
I put a new belt on my '95 GS-R last fall because I was getting more nervous about it going. My dad had a belt go on his '73 Fiat (well, it was a long time ago). There was NO warning whatsoever.
