I run rain or shine with an open K&N filter.  I've never really had any problem running in the rain, even torrential downpours!  I did have an issue once of getting water inside while it was parked.  I had the scoot on the center stand so the filter was more exposed to the rain.  Now if it is going to be raining hard while parked I put a zip-lok bag over it just to be sure!  As for the belt I replaced mine at about 10,000kms.  The dust you are seeing in the cvt is a mixture of belt, roller, & clutch dust.  It is pretty normal, I blow mine out every time I take the cover off as there is always more.

Carbon fiber $ucks for rollers. It is toooo hard, and wears faster than any other roller. The Polyurethane rollers are the best in my opinion. There are MANY different formulas for polly, so even these are not all created equal. I have used 6-7 different brands, and none out last the malossi. When I was tuning the var I bought 4 cheap ebay sets from 4 different sources. They all turned out to be the same rollers in different packages. (made in China). So far the only bullet proof rollers I have used are the Malossi.

[thebatman]

ahhhh sh**!! dont say that... they were more...lmao..the brand in is "athena"evidently thier rollers suck, 1 1/2 mths old, bad flat spot.. the carbon ones r "adige".... remember yesterday i mentioned she didnt run as good as day b4?  today.. she ran better than yesterday, had my 5-6mph back, THE ONLY THING I DONE....WASH IT AGAIN!!!!! see y i flip out, she is different DAILY!!!!...W.T.H??..mtn air???......check this, i took and sanded my clutch "disc", and lightly around cover..my take off was better wit the same springs as b4???...possible the 350+lb. owner b4 me hurt it???(the actual clutch,an the springs couldnt help) oem disc r smaller than the aftermrkt ive seen...that is wierd to me..i done that once b4, when i changed springs,takeoff better for a day or so then sh** again

[wordslinger]

..the idea being, is that you get what you paid for...

..dunno what you paid for your scoot, but new, KYMCO is one of the pricier...

..the inherent quality is already built in..

..can't put cheap chinese parts in a KYMCO and expect it to perform....

..my brake pads that i took off th marshin are a perfect example....


peace
