Got belt today, this is the one i got
http://scooterbits.co.uk/product/Malossi_Kevlar_Belt_9/When i measured it it seemed shorter than the 736mm length it is meant to be?!?!? It seemed around 725-730mm near enough stock length when i roughly compared them side by side, so i was going to send it back. Already had my scoot stripped down and old belt was off so i decided to try it in anyway just to see how it ran.
Sounded a bit rough on centre stand but thought maybe just needs ran in a bit. Left 5.5g rollers in ao i could tell how it was compared to my old belt, didnt want to start changing other stuff so if it wasnt right i knew it was 100% the new belt as nothing else had changed.
Just been out for a quick test run on my usual test route of flats and hills. Feels better now after a couple of miles of running in. Similair or maybe even a little better 0-40mph, maybe slight improvement uphill of 1-2mph, but when i hit one of my fave downhills i got it up to 50mph, almost hit the H on the mph on the gauge
Wooohooo!!!
Previously the fastest i ever got was 47-48mph or about 75km/h on this hill using the 5.5g rollers, had hit 50mph (just) on 7.5g rollers ages ago but it was a dog uphill on the heavy weights.
Had to cut my ride short as it started raining and i went out with no waterproofs on so going to go back out tomorrow or sunday if its dry and do a gps speed on it. Usually i lose a couple of mph in the wet or damp weather, dont know why i just do, so i may even get faster again once its dry!
I love it. I am one happy bunny. Let you know how it goes when i get back out again, rain rain go away so me and my scoot can go out to play
