I agree with John - "don't stress test the belt - change it when manual says to!"
I ride in all kinds of unfriendly temps, times, places and weather.
So - I keep to the maint. schedule of my scoots.
Was thinking today as I motored along in a down-pour, "any kind of a stoppage out here on this 10 yr old scooter would be a bummer. It'd be very unpleasant waiting for rescue without an umbrella! - I should put one under my seat!"
Still dry out through town....
