Best brands for parts
« on: November 20, 2017, 09:50:51 PM »
Looking at getting a new belt for my Kymco Like 125 as I am going to replace the rollers soon with Dr Pulley sliders and although Bando seems to be highly recommended are there are brands that are high quality as well.  Also, if I did stay with rollers what are the best brands for them.

I would stay with the Kymco belt Paul. You will never regret it. Same with the rollers.

On my S200 the Kymco belt worked fine, & an aftermarket belt also worked fine, Malossi as I recall.
If all prices are equal or close go with the OEM. Haven't tried a bando though.

Change rollers to Dr pulley sliders. It's recommended to go 10% lighter than stock. Replace sliding bits that plate in the variator moves on, they half price of the sliders. I have just replaced rollers for Dr pulley sliders on my Downtown 300i and I'm happy with the improvement. Scooter accelerates faster and smoother. When working on the transmission take the clutch bell of and clean the surface of clutch shoes with sandpaper. If someone reccomends you rollers over Dr pulley sliders it means they never tried them and have no idea what the difference is.
