This should be interesting.
I just placed an on-line order with Leeson's Import Motors (Bridgeport, WV) for a couple of parts for my 2012 LIKE200iLX.
I ordered a new belt and a flange and hex nuts for both ends of the CVT. I always use new nuts when replacing the belt.
Belt - $51.69 (which is $25 less than the eBay Taiwan seller)
and the nuts were $2 each
Shipping $5.00
I'll replace the oil (s), airfilter, belt, nuts, Dr P. sliders, NGK Iridium, check the valves and drain the puke tube when my garage is a comfy temp this winter! I'll look at the brake pads, lube the slide pins.
May even check the PSI in the tires - which I hate!
I've had some of these spares for a few years.
https://www.leesonsarcticcat.comYes, I checked with my dealer. Getting someone's attention at the parts counter for a scooter part is a trick - and then waiting for them to bundle their order to Kymco is another hassle. Then you must keep checking by phone to see when they have your order filled.
It's been yrs since I received this order from monster parts.

Ordered a new belt and the 2 CVT nuts for my 2012 LIKE200iLX.
The belt is 11 months since packaged. (much better than my 9 yr NOS spare - kept int he bedroom!)
I am happy to have an OEM parts seller in the USA for my Kymco!
As a point of interest - OEM parts for my Piaggio are available mail/order from two
major sellers in the USA - (TX & San Diego) - and arrive in @ 14 days.
