I have found the issue with mine from my ride yesterday. We have a lot of wind here! yesterday I rode just over 600k, if I am running 100-110kph and with wind I get really good gas milage. With winds off the front corner with all my luggage on I tend to run around 90kph and the millage is very low due to high rpm. difference of almost 20 miles per imp. gallon. I just looked today and the wind is out of the west at 34kph plus guests. It will be a nice ride into the city but a bear coming home again. It is about 50km to Saskatoon.
I am not sure how the rollers would have done yesterday but I think better at the lower speed against the wind.

At 90km/h, you'd be looking at 500 revs less and probably a bit better fuel consumption.

Wind is the fastest way to loose top speed and MPG. This is more exagerated on a bike like ours that is so light and running toward the extreme of available power...............

Turns out the belt was distroyed by the sliders.

Now that I am looking at the thread, our one primary difference is load at speed. You have the bags etc and I am wondering if the belt, with the sliders, couldn't handle the load at the positions the sliders would place the variator (power and drive side) etc. Do you have a different wind screen too?

[racewalker]

I have a givi wind screen, givi 46l top case givi small saddle bags, and a twisted throttle seat bag. The load I was carrying should be less than a second person. I hope I can  find a belt tomorrow so I will have a spare for the trip. I will carry the tools to make the change along the way if need be.

Other than a slider shifted out of position I am not sure why it would have done this. So far this is the first instance that I had come across. I think there was one other person saying with sliders that the variator had issues but can't remember the posts and no pics............

I believe it was Sissy Mary with the exciting 500. This could be a defective belt but it seems odd that it didn't happen in the first say 15000K. There were no cracks or damage to the belt when the sliders went in. I will have a new OEM belt tomorrow and if it stops raining long enough, I will install it. I doute  I will get the bike out of here anymore this week as it is still supposed to keep raining quite hard. the roads here are just soup again!

There are quite a few. Mine destroyed my Malossi var, and a BRAND new belt. The slider jammed, and the var could not close. By the time I got home I had 200.00 worth of junk.

Got one of my new belts today. If it is not raining to hard when I get home I will install it. I expect the mileage and speed to come up quit a bit. I compared belt width and I can't see any so should be back to what I had before.

would you measure the new belt is it about the same measurement as the old belt,.  mitsuboshi belt size is 1004 mm. X 25.2 mm. wide with 30 degree angle, joe goulet  golden hawk Im just over 18,000 km. on original belt ,

What is the part number on yours? both the old and the new are the same size but do not match your measurements. mine is 970mm out side and 24mm across. My part number is 23100-LEA7-E00. Do you have the lea7 variator?

[de-dee]

&yes I have a belt # 23100 LEA7-E00 on a LEA7  variator  belt by mitsuboshi price is 189.95  kymco genuine part, are you getting a better price ,.   this belt measures  973 mm. rolling belt on the table X 24 mm.  joe goulet

The belt for our DT is quite expensive, Malossi started selling this year a belt for the DT reference 6115277. So far I have only been able to locate them in Frace for 70 Euros + delivery. You may want to contact Malossi USA and enquire for it as it is half the price of the mitsuboshi.

Installed it in the rain last night. Will fuel tonight after work and then start watching the mileage again. Handled well this morning with a cross wing about 25K.
