Sorry for the disappearance guys. Just for future reference 11mm width from 18mm is accurate. I did order a replacement belt and discovered the problem was due to the idle being turned too high when I purchased the scooter. The clutch never disengaged but I never noticed it. I did buy the scooter New and it was it was only 2 months old when this occurred. I knew little about these engines and drive trains at the time. I've learned a lot in the past month! The scooter to define after idle adjustment and the New belt.
Thanks!

Wow, my rpms were ridiculously high when my belt wore down to just 13-14 or so millimeters (if even that low TBH). Hope all goes well!
I actually think mine was closer to 14-15mm wide before my rpms were way higher than normal and wasn't at the previous top speeds.

The corrosion on that pulley could have easily eaten up the belt on that side. BINGO!! you just won the WHY. And I have to add that is not a new scooter. Alleyoop |

Even 13 to 14 mm is really low " of course I'm use to the Kevlar belts" I never let mine wear that low . |

It was my original belt on the scooter when I first bought it (used from I guy I worked with, with about 250 on odometer). It was a Gates, but I didn't know much about this scooter at all back then. No way would I let it get that thin now. I can't remember what mileage I wound up with on that belt, so long ago... lol. EDIT: A matter of fact, I think I still have that belt hanging around in my garage somewhere. |

Alleyoop Alleyoop, how dare you say "Water fludded dammage" when it's summer time and sales are quick to buy $ But of corse you didn't, but my bet is it might have been setting for a while, and got a bit power washed and "armored-all" up a bit for pre sale. Just a hunch ya all. (power wash the scooter and it set's all winter long ? ) -- SOLD $$ When i was younger, i worked at a dealership, now i'm not saying this is the case, but i seen the pic of that face plate rusted on only one side ( the bottom side?) so given the metal the stock ones are made of i'll bet i'm not too far off. |
