My son recently purchased a used TNG Milano 125. Low mileage for the year, probably stored for a while. He couldn't wait to ride it,and of course the belt broke,probably from age. He purchased a new Bando belt (743-20-30)from Partsforscooters.com. He tried to change it himself, after viewing a video showing the procedure. The video shows it being done without tools.Is this possible on a short case engine, because the belt won't go over the variator? Is there a good resource where I can verify that this is the
correct belt? No numbers on the old belt, completely destroyed. TIA !

The correct size belt on a short case engine is impossible to change without tools. Get an emergency impact wrench from harbor freight ($20 investment will pay for itself in less than one use if you compare to shop costs). You will also need a 14mm and 17mm impact sockets for the nuts on the variator and clutch shafts. Will also be extremely useful to have on hand for emergency belt changes, you can keep this and a belt in yoru bucket and never worry again, this kind of security of mind is priceless. It runs off of the battery in the scooter, no need for anything extra.

10" wheels should be a GY6 125 short case . . but just curious if you took a case measurement to verify?

Thanks lain,I suspected as
much.Thanks tortoise,no I have not measured it to be sure. I'm new to the scooter game and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about them. Are there any parts manuals available online? I'm an old parts guy so looking them up is second nature to me. Any other good resources available? Thanks again! !
