I have heard both good and bad on belts from Napa . Those may just be a belt like for a cars fan that just rotates instead of expanding like on a CVT . Advance and Autozone both had NGK plugs but would have to order the iridium for next day . I have Bando belts on my scooters both from PFS PFS? |

We've really seen an uptick in the sales of these belts, and I haven't had any failures yet. Bando really does make a nice belt in my experience. Matt |

Bando is made in Japan and is what Honda uses . So far the surging vibration went away on my Echarm . The Bando was 30 less than the CFMoto belt which my dealer said was made by Bando but the stock belt was smooth even with 12k of hard miles on it it hardly had any wear . My 2T came with a Gates and I replaced it to be safe at 4k miles but it still looks almost new and is a spare . It too has the surging vibration that the Gates did not at all .
I did also install a Hoca bb torque spring base that has BBs which allow the torque spring to be able to move instead of bind and it sounds like a cars automatic transmission with several gears instead the before " gear changes " . I tried to compress a 1.5k torque spring by hand but I could not get it to close together but the stock spring I was able to put it together . I never had any uphill problems but I wanted to put in the torque ( also called contra ) spring since I also put on 1.5k Hoca clutch springs and Dr Pulley sliders .
I think both of my Bandos are the Kevlar type which is stiffer . I have read where Kevlar can eat up a variator . I have over 19k miles on my Echarm with stock CVT other than DR Pulley sliders at 5,5k miles . I have lost top end from 75 to 65 since I am rev limited by the ECU ( no CDI box like a carb has ) and even though I lack a tach I can tell my RPMs are higher at 50 and 60 MPH than they used to be . My dealer told me he replaced a variator on another Echarm at 20k and it was worn out so I will be buying one soon and going with 13g instead of 12g to see if I could hit 80 MPH since the 12g sliders I could hit 75 where the rollers that weighed 12.2g after 5,5k miles I topped at 70 . Clutch still works fine with no slippage and it hardly had any dust from it or the belt at 12k miles . I will pay the extra and get a CFMoto belt as I did not like the surging vibration .
