Here is an excellent article written by Momma(Trish Drinkle)
It is from a very good article from Snoriders West regarding QD Belt Break in. It explains what is happening with the gears and the belt well during break in.

From the Article:
"The belt drive is geared square and the belt is grooved square so it is imperative that sufficient break-in time be allotted for this system. Taking the time to break in the belt-drive gears and your belt only makes sense.
After you have broken in the gear grooves for the belt drive, the next belt installed will not need as much break-in time because the gears will already have smoothed into optimum condition. To ensure proper break-in, vary your RPMs—rather than holding it wide open—for the first 160 kilometres of use. From the factory, the belts contain a mould release compound on the surface. This needs to be gradually worn off. If the belt gets too hot, it could mess with the integrity of the belt system. You’ll notice a fibrous residue shed from the belt. Simply wipe with a dry shop towel to remove the residue. This is completely normal."
