Gates belt dust.

Just installed a gates carbon belt. Cleaned clutches and used a scotch brite pad on them. I periodicaly check my belt drain for water when i ride in alot of deep water. I noticed alot of belt dust in the plug. Is that normal when the belt is new? No water in the belt. Also it doesnt feel like bike is as peppy with this belt. I remember with the stock belt i could roost all 4 goin around a corner. It felt like it grabbed much harder. I think im going to get a duraclutch…
