Broken Belt

I was out for a ride the other day when my belt broke. I opened her up, cleaned everything out and took the old belt to get it replaced. When I first purchased the belt I thought I was getting an 842-20-30, or at least that's what the tech at my local shop said I needed, but I found he had installed an 821-20-30. He installed it at about 6000 miles, I had a stock 107mm drive face then. I have recently stepped up to a 115mm drive (Koso) @ 9000 miles, my scooter is a 150cc Bashan BLX with a long case, 1P57QMJ engine and unfortunately I didn't get an owners manual with this bike. My question is can or should I, step up my belt size to the 842 to account for the travel of the new variator?

835-20-30 are considered directly interchangeable with the 842's but i would think an 821 is a touch too small. damn near an inch smaller versus less than half an inch. it is amazing how much pressure is put on those belts and if they actually bottom out before reaching the variator limit they just will not hold up.

OK, I happened to pick up an 835-20-30 and installed it Monday and have ridden a few days on it. I'm change out fluids this morning and while I'm at it I will pull the cover and check belt condition. Thanks for the feedback!

Just got through changing fluids, plug and adjusting A/F, checked belt and its holding up but I notice it's not getting all the way up variator face( But I'm going to try a little heavier roller, I currently have 12g's in there now) so I may order an 842-20-30 and save the 835 for an emergency spare. Once again thanks for the feedback.
