Rollers & belt.
« on: June 23, 2010, 04:37:56 PM »
I am over 12,000 miles on my X500 now. I bought a kevlar belt, but I am not sure @ how many miles I should install it? Do the rollers wear out? And if yes? How long do they last? How long will the stock clutch hold up? If I am going to change the belt, I might as well change the rollers if needed at the same time! There are 5 dealers in Arizona, and not one of them know the answers to these questions? And if you call the importer they take a pissy attitude with you, and they don't know the answer either? I love the bike, but I sure wish I could find someone who has a clue about maxi scooters? :-*

In Germany the Xciting does not have an exchange intervall for belt and rollers, but certain wear measurement.
My Xciting has +20000km, belt and rollers probably to be changed during next service at 25000km.
Clutch could last much longer.

My last drive belt - 3rd- was changed after 16,500 miles. My scoot has Dr. Pulley Sliders. First belt was replaced at 12k miles. It didn't last as long because I was having too much fun twisting the throttle.
