Sorry for the delay I have been waiting fo rmy replacement belt to arrive. Not covered under warranty because I am the second owner and warranty only covers the original buyer. The belt was a Malossi tat the original owner installed when he changed the variator weights.

You see, I read more stuff about REPLACEMENT belts breaking than anything else. Not only could it be inferior, but more to the point, just because they SAY it is the correct size does not make it so.

KYMCO and SYM use proprietary belts made for them by BANDO, and so far I have heard of them often lasting 12K- 15K miles (which I personally do not want to chance. Mine get changed out at 5500-6K miles). The OEM belts do not generally seem to give problems, unless left on way too long. The type of riding you do also affects belt life - two up seems to be the hardest on belts, but my stop and go NYC commute can not be good either.

Over on the Chinese scoot forums you read about belts breaking in the first 300 miles all the time. So stay away from Chinese junk belts.

...for my ppl 50s AND my agility 50, there are at least a half dozen "standard' belt sizes you can find on the internets...

..if you can get the OEM BANDO...then do that...

..my OEM on my A50 broke at 30,000kms...

The Kymco belts I have bought from the dealers have been Mistuboshi belts.  I just looked at their website and Power Transmission belts is the first item listed in the products section of the website.  They make other items but this would appear to be their first/main product.

Checked my belt last weekend, at 14.300 kms it is still within specs.
