Lets go back to the "the crank shaft is bent or something". Was that actually repaired and is it possible that there was not some other collateral damage?
You really need to verify which shaft was the problem and verify that it is repaired and does not wobble or regardless of the quality the bike will keep on eating belts.
Puma is generally a better bike than most bargain basement Chinese drop shippers have since it is Zenen's direct sales brand that they sell with a 2 year parts and labor warranty so at 8,000 miles it should not be having issues aside from with the BBC that was installed.
If it were mine I would:
Clean up the variator and clutch verifying they are in good order being sure to grease the needle bearings inside the clutch which ride on the clutch shaft. Make sure that the drive faces are not grooved badly and that the rollers and ramp plate in the variator are still good and in their correct orientation..
Ensure that the neither the crank shaft or the clutch shaft going into the final drive wobble and repair any problems that are found.
