Title: Best belt drive
Post by: kbshaq on February 05, 2015, 06:30:04 PM

Any recommendations on a good replacement belt drive for the 300?
Even after market, if any.

Everything  I've read says to buy another original equipment KYMCO belt. I am told that you cannot do better than these stock KYMCO belts (and same goes for most of the other stock parts on your scoot: buy Kymco)
I'm certainly no expert...but this is what I have repeatedly read, for the past 2 years.

Agreed.
I have tried practically every top brand / bargain brand / hardware store / tractor supply, and none of them are better for long life, and reliable performance.

I'm still a HUGE fan of Malossi Kevlar belts but I have found you do NOT want one on a daily driver. The belt casing is too tough, and wears every part it touches.

Bando OEM.
