The good news: I'm ridin'! The bad news...I decided to do a quick after work ride just now. I noted two possible issues. One...I REALLY need a tinted visor.  More notably: starting off (especially on a hill), it shudders a bit...I feel it more than hear it, though a couple times, it made the top box rattle. The scoot has ~10,000 miles...am I right in thinking it's probably time for a drive belt? If so...anyone better than me at searching (which would be pretty much everybody) know of a how-to on the web? |

Jarlaxle, my 1st guess is your clutch pads and bell are just glazed. Take the bell off and clean it up good and take some sand paper and clean/rough up pads on the clutch. With 10,000 miles a belt change probably would not be a bad idea also. Barnie

Yep. Shuttering at takeoff.....bet your clutch pads are as shiny as a new pair of shoes. DX

According to my neighbor, it "squeaks" (her word) taking off. (Couldn't tell you, I wear a full-face lid & am half deaf.) Well...looks like I'm taking the CVT cover off this weekend. So, uhh...anyone have any idea how the heck I go about that on a Q-Link?  Also, what grit should I use on the clutch pads? |

The Q-Link is a Honda Helix clone. The manual for the Helix should provide you with the information you seek. On the emery paper. Started off with a light grit, but found a medium grit (and a light touch) got it off faster. Q-Link Manual: mpsracing.net/technical/helix-manual/index.html (section 8, drive pulley.) |

Just to make sure, this is your bike right?  |
