Kat Needs Help :D

I will bet in 25000 kms the "Puke Tube" is full! Find it, drain it and put the plug back in it! The nasty stuff in the tube won't burn. Located at the front of the CVT cover, black plug, finger spring retainer. Squeeze the spring and slide it up the tube, pull the plug carefully. Stuff stinks like gasoline and other things unrelated to fresh air. Draining may not fix your speed problem but couldn't hoyt!

YES I usually drain that and did last year but will check it!

I wonder now how much of a problem this will be for me to get the parts from the garage here??? There is no more dealer in Canada now!  Can other brands work?

The Kymco brand belt for your scooter will give you a correct fit and another 20000km.
Do a google seatch for kymco parts sites...to check prices and shipping to you.
I order from kymcopartsmonster.
Makes sense to replace the rollers while you're paying to have the belt fitted.
May not be anything wrong with your scooter. ...it just has some consumable parts which need replacing.

I am in PEI Canada can any of you recommend where I can order these parts myself? Belt, Rollers, Sliders etc.  It is gonna cost me more due to the exchange rate to but nothing I can do now that there is no dealer in Canada and that sucks

It matches the part # shown on Kymcopartsmonster.com. ...so,,yes. Ask for the freshest one they have.

Thank you Stig, OK what about rollers? can they be from other company or is it best to get the Kymco one's? What do they look like?

[Nireen]

Just saw it will come all the way from Taiwan! Gosh will likely cost me alot for the shipping and maybe get customs price to.

[Nireen]

Is this the drain hose you all talk about?  I got maybe a teaspoon of gunk.

Seller quotes $19 to USA....what do they quote to Canada?
Maybe phone post office and ask about customs on a $90 part from Taiwan.
Partsmonster is showing $180 for your belt.

Dr Pulley is a reputable maker of both rollers and sliders. It looks like the size you need is 20x12, 15 grams (8 pack).

You might see if this place ships to Canada:

They typically have their inventory in stock.

That's the one! Tea or tablespoon indicates it was not full and affecting engine running. You now know one thing your problem is NOT!

I am guessing now your belt wore narrower. Bet it is skinnier than 24 mm. I had the same, original rollers in my first DT300I at 20000 MILES and they worked fine.

[Nireen]

Yeah Karl I clean this pretty often.  I changed the spark plug and cleaned air-filter so I imagine it is my belt now.

[hypophthalmus]

I'd guess that the belt is worn just below spec. And any top speed drop off should have been gradual. Was it?

I've heard of people getting flat spots pretty quickly. I think it depends on how you ride. Worst case, if the rollers still look pristine, you'd have some on hand for the next belt change.

In any case, the kickback/resistance described at full throttle sounds more likely to be something engine-related to me.

[Nireen]

It did not seem to happen gradual Hypo.  I took the same road trip in August and it was fine and than took the second trip in September and it started doing this.
