All DSMs should have their timing AND balance shaft belts changed every 60,000 miles (90,000 km). Many engine-destroying belt failures are really the fault of the balance shaft belt, rather than the main timing belt.
Most people find it convenient to change all the belts at once. There are five belts on 1G DSMs (and probably on 2Gs, as well) as well as tensioners and pulleys. For a complete list, see I need to replace my timing belt. What other parts should I replace? Also, read Why is it so important to change the timing belt on a [DSM]?
