clutch pully sticking belts burning

[mickeman]

My belt burnt up on my 06 exciting with 12000km (7500mi) on it. I replaced it with a gates that was very tight to get on but said to fit my bike(may have been wrong size) It burnt up within 2 miles. Variator appears to be fine.  The clutch pulley seems to stick open 1/2" but can snap closed with help. I,m thinking the belts may have got stuck down low and burnt up. Shouldn,t this pulley fully close when not engaged? Other than that the clutch appears fine. I am putting a oem belt on it this time and don't want it to burn up. thanks

Seems like the clutch pulley is your problem. Perhaps there are remains of the old belt stuck in there . Maybe only a few strands, but just enough to cause it to stick.
