Probably all of the 250cc motors - Grandvista, Grand Dink, B&W 250, People 250.  What happened to the clutch?  My GV250 has 21K on it and the clutch is fine.

Ok, good info.  So things got a little sketchy.  Some people ride the clutch like at lights on a hill which ruins it.  When I changed the belt I drove it a few feet with the cover off to make sure the tension was good but I noticed that the rear clutch / variator got so hot I almost couldn't touch it.  So sitting at a light on a hill cooks everything including the belt.  If it is used properly I would expect it to last over 30K miles.
