2 belts in 2 weeks isnt normal at all.

[wordslinger]

my belt its normally fraying on tbe inside top edge (inner variator side).

..can you post a pic of this...

...if it's about 1/16 - 1/8 " inch in, it could be that your belt is grinding against the starter bendix...

..a longer belt will tend to do this....1500 contra helps this....

[wordslinger]

...if you run a longer belt, with a restricted driven pulley set, it's definately going to happen...

I ran kevlar for several thousand kilometers, and never had problems. Why should he avoid kevlar?

i had malossi kevlar 748mm and after 1500km it almost started to fall apart, peaces and 3 or4 teeths was missing along the belt +a lot of sticky dust in cvt casing.
and had some slipping issues when cold. def not for everyday use.
orig. bando i installed 7.000km ago is excellent and there's only 1mm of wear in width

Why cant i run without the bendix tho? It wont damage anything?

i must correct myself . you can but it's more comfortable to use electric starter. it'll hurt nothing

...cant run a 748 inna a50, not even with a 1500 contra...

[woodcutter]

though, on 748 malossi and multivar, start and mid range was so,so but was getting me off the scale downhill. approx 90+kmh on tacho.
bando 728mm up to 77-78kmh on long downhill. and as I remember there was some grinding noise on 748 but there was no scratching marks at the top of the belt

..4ts cant turn enough rpms to benefit from a 748...


..belt "flops" around too much...



..736 is about the max, and now, that might even be questionable...

[woodcutter]

...cant run a 748 inna a50, not even with a 1500 contra..

I did with malossi multivar with white torque spring but somethig wasn't right though it's only 20mm longer than stock.
but top speed was great  

rubber bando 737mm long is the most reliable and compatible I ran in ag50 also on white torque and 5.8gramm rollers

[woodcutter]

..4ts cant turn enough rpms to benefit from a 748..

can be controled with roller weight and torque spring

but somethig wasn't right though it's only 20mm longer than stock.

now I'm back on stock agility and yamaha x-max 250i

Wordslinger,

My rear pulley is def not restricted so thats not an issue. 

I am 99.999999999999999998% positive its the belt hitting tbe bendix, poss even 99.999999999999999999%
 sure in fact. 

Even 729mm long belts are hitting the bendix now if its in 

I will post a pic or 2 later tonight, i can see obvious scores on tbe top of my belt surface(where the writing is) and also on the very top edge maybe about 1/2 to 1mm of the inside edge(the edge tbe sits under the bendix) it begins to fray quickly or even rips or tears  I had put this down to sh**ty belts but now i realise its been the bendix all along, not tbe belts   

Its early fri morn here and im just up and in work now ( work? Maybe that should be at "work" lol, i got the friday feeling so doing sweet F all today, finish at 12:30 lunchtime tho

Ran to work fine this morn on no bendix, speed up 5mph from yesterday, no restricted holding back feeling at all at 40-42mph like i had before and im still on the same belt that yesterday wasnt right, all i did different was to remove the bendix, so it must be that.

I liked my Malossi Kevlar but i doubt a new one will last anywhere near as long as a decent quality rubber equivelent, i may end up buying one temp for now tho if i cant find exactly the same size in rubber. Need to check my Malossi chart later to confirm but im pretty sure it was 736 or 737 - 17 - 30 kevlar belt i was running before, that was great on my 1500rpm torque spring and 5.5g rollers, best set up i ever had sp far.

Ill post those pics for you to see, on my phone just now so need wait till i get home and send them from my P.C cks im sure i deleted them off my phone once i sent them to the computer.

Cheers guys 

btw how long do you think it will take me to NOT jump on the scoot and press the electric starter?  I did it this morn when i 1st started her up, then again when i stopped at an ATM, then again when i stopped at a shop for breakfast lol. Then i have to get back off and kick start it over. Been so long since i used my kickstart i almost forgot it was there

Dont want to go as long as those Woodcutter, thanks for the effort tho bro.

736-737 is good for me.

Im in Scotland, not the USA, so i can get a Malossi no probs here, delivered in a day or 2, guess it would be at least 2wks delivery from tbe US to here, if it didnt get lost in transit
