Naraku Drive Belt

[rliburd2002]

I would stay well away from these. I fitted one in June and it only lasted 2 months!!

try a doppler,polini or mallosi kevlar they wont let you down

[sidthesloth]

I believe Malossi are good for parts, but their belts are short lived, as far as I have seen, if not going stock, Gates or Dayco are up with the best.

need one for the new kid on the block got a lil slippage going on with the 70 the belt is boned,if you leather it from a standing start i get like a turbo dump valve let off noise from the cvt area so i know thats the prob,yet ride a couple of miles and do the same thing and it stands on the back wheel,kymmmmmmmm come back,lol,no only messin love my ice

Apparently, Malossi belts are soft, warm them up and they grip, but, trade off is short life. Good for racing, race-replace.

Apparently, Malossi belts are soft.thats the only problem with this set up HIGH FRIKIN MAINTAINCE!!! lol,but again no dis to kymco as you cant have the best of both worlds,as i said in other posts 4t aint for me,unless is starts around 500cc plus,and then i wouldnt have a clue how to fix the engine lol,2t different story ps sid i recon that would explain the avalance of dust that fell out the cvt cover on recent inpection then

...i've had good luck with standard Gates "Powerlink" belts...

..had two bad experiences with Kevlar belts..but i was experimenting with belt sizes then...

..kevlar belts make one helluva mess when they pop...

[omfgdotcodotuk]

come on slinger more info please,what happens bud?

[wordslinger]

...you get small chunks of rubber left in your housing and the rest turns to a cottony puffy substance that fills every cubic centimeter of open area within your cvt...


..even gets in between the coils of your fly clutch springs..

..requires a TOTAL disassembly of ALL your cvt components to get it all cleared out....

Goodbye frikin kevlar
Ok the results of a none kevlar belt snapping would be?,sorry aint ever had this happen excuse my ignorace

[wordslinger]

...not all belt "sizes" work the best with a particular set-up...

..i'm really liking the gates 729-17.7-28 powerlink belt in my a50...

..it is slightly longer than the oem bando.....

..and i'm kinda itching to run one in my ppl 50...which was the scoot that i was experimenting with belt sizes...

..both "should" run the same belt...but the 2-stroke puts a greater load on the belt...initially, anyway...

[omfgdotcodotuk]

mmmmmmmm,i need a lil belt research on the offending item ie my scoot lol

[wordslinger]

...itsa balance...

..but run what you gots dude!!

..sounds like its screamin'!!

[omfgdotcodotuk]

needs a little lower ratio too much set off power,im feeling that one

[wordslinger]

...a longer belt would take away from the ...take-off..... as well as increase top speed...

..if you can balance it....
