CVT Belt Prices

[agilebda]

Hello all.

What is the price of a belt for the GTI? I go on all the Kymco part websites and it always says "call for pricing" (kind of disappointing when you want to order online). Is there any aftermarket belts you guys are using?

I heard that the belts are around the $200 range. Is this true?

on the downtown the belts run from $180.00 at dealer to $99.00 at powersportswarehouse.com    still got to call in ,.  I guess the price, gos up and down for the suppliers too,.  happy new year to all scooterests and all your roads smooth and ice free....

It bugs me too that retailers don`t post prices. I think it is bull s***.
If they have them in stock, they know the price.
From what I`ve seen, prices run around $100.- $115..
Too da** high IMHO.
Why would a small belt cost $100+?.

Update: As of 3/6/2014 Parts Outlaw has GT belts for $89.77.
If order is over $100., shipping is free.

Find out what the belt size is and try to find a Gates Powerlink from an online vendor.  I bought two for my Taiwanese GY6 150cc for $27 apiece.

Beware of a counterfeit belts for both Bando and Gates.

 cross checked again and the only supplier for my down town is mitsuboshi size is 1004 mm/ 25.2  with 30 degree v that size is from mitsuboshi   but the belts ive bought are 1004/ 24.5 that is on the edge of worn out,
has any one else measured the belt width, and the length,.  it is measured with a tailors tape, around the outside of the belt,.  the first belt I got is 1010 mm. and two more belts measure 1004 mm.  I guess close is OK,.

Thanks dee dee. I think that I will stick with the original Kymco belt as it's Kevlar material which would last a lot longer.

 yes the belts last the first belt lasted over 30,000 km that about 20,000 miles,. (16,000km per 10,000 miles)   your supposed to change them at 20,000 km. I was seeing how far I could go on the belt,. when I changed it there were small cracks in the belt, but it still looked good if you did not flex the belt,.
