MOPED ARMY

i agree with said post.

will work or will work well?

Hmmmm, hasn't anyone else replaced their belt recently?

i have ONLY had luck with the stock belt.

imo, i would try to find a used one. they rarely, rarely fail. the other belts would work too, but there really is not a direct replacement.

Used is the way to go.. I bought one on ebay and it stilll has lots of life left.

On a related note, are Treat's belts the same length as stock?

so the fast arrow belt looks like the exact size

good year belt research has turned up these? has anyone had luck with these?

OEM width 9/32 = 0.59375

model: 22414 0.63 wide 41.000 long

model: 17411 0.53 wide 41.000 long

yes. I still have to pedal as fast as I can to get it started. Once it's started, it runs great.

It wasn't starting yesterday no matter how hard I pedaled, so I got discouraged with it.

Today I tried it out and I still had to pedal really hard and really fast, but managed to get it running. I took a 15 mile cruise and it was fine.

I let it sit for a few hours and then wanted to ride it again.

I pedaled and pedaled and pedaled but now it doesn't even sound like it wants to start.

I don't get it!

Could this be the variator as well?

It does look pretty loose. Maybe the belt is still good?

How do I mess with the tension? I haven't really looked at it, but is it self-explanatory?

Nice! Thanks a lot. I can't wait to try this when it gets nice again this week!

you don't want it super tight. it should be able to move easily about a half inch or so

dude, i have the exact same problem on my Hobbit PA 50 II. Exactly the same. My friend came over and put a different belt on the bike, and it started right up. One week later im having the same problem even with the new belt. The belt seems pretty tight to me, so not sure what to do exactly. Gonna check this thread and hope we figure it out.

just tension the belt guys!

my belt wasnt brand new, it was an old one just swapped. Should have made that clear. One belt worked, one didnt at the same tension. Maybe ill make it even tighter and see how it goes. Thanks

are your pulleys good 'n grippey? if your belt is tight but you're slipping a lot you might have grease/oil on your pulley, variator or belt which is bad. (had this on my hobbit, de-greased faces & dressed the belt, problem went away) otherwise if you're not slippin much your start clutch weights might be going to hell. if you can ripcord start it from the flywheel easily there's a decent chance your starter clutch is getting worn out. about $15 from your Honda dealer.

degrease your pulley 'n variator, & dress your belt. tighten everything up nice and tight. if you're belt is still slipping, you've got a problem. if your belt isn't slipping but still hard to start check your clutch.

because they arent the exact same shape and size of the stock one.
