Get nowhere near that on a scoot belt, they wear down on the edges which decreases top speed, the belts I have changed looked in perfect condition, but below factory width specification.

Belts are quite a nice solution for motorcycles that don’t face offroad or very powerful engines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many year ago I had a Kawasaki GPZ305, that was belt drive, the belt snapped while out on a ride, luckily near to home when it did. Ŵent and ordered a new belt, when they told me the price I almost passed out. £150, and that was around 1980, so I converted it to chain drive, shortly before it devoured its camshafts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gates belts on Harleys are okay up to around 150hp and 200 Nm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 On the Suzuki Burgman 650 the belt is supposed to be for the life (or was) of the scoot, But many failed well before that, suffering catastrophic transmission failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a chain conversion once you are north of those figures, lots of tuning goes on. Your bike is designed to be tuned but 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
