Post by: kingkymco125 on February 12, 2017, 07:15:35 PM: I have a 2012 125. I changed the drivebelt two years ago. I was wondering how offern they should be changed. It is every year, or

Considering all the downsides of roadside replacement, a 5,000 mile interval (http://www.carolinafunmachines.com/Documents/Maintenance%20Schedule%20-%204-Stroke.pdf) may actually be worthy of consideration.

Hard to believe that this is not a frequent topic of discussion among your scooter group.

Unless you have noticed degrading performance, let it be. Enjoy your riding !
A used part is a proven part.

IF you are planning an extended tour, far away from home, by all means, replace the belt with new and ride it for a week or so, around home so it can prove itself.

Nothing wrong with having a spare in it's plastic bag, hanging up on a nail out in the garage. Price will only go up tomorrow...
