Study the feedback for the seller offering KYMCO parts from Asia. Check if he is sending the good stuff....not counterfeited parts. They have counterfeited the bags as well as the part.
If the price is too low ……..

Post by: A2MI on June 08, 2020, 03:48:57 AM: Here's part of my reply to a different thread:

Stu says the Gates PL30904 is a perfect fit. He has way more experience than I with the GV250.
That being said, here's what I've found: I bought the PL30904 about a year ago, just now getting serious about changing it.
When removing the CVT cover I see a Bando belt with the Kymco name and number (23100-KHE7-9000.)
With my sad, old eyes, I could see that the Gates was narrower. Will that cause a reduction in top speed?
By the book, the Gates is 893x23x28. Bando is 893x24x30.
Very slight difference, I know, but, I'm a Virgo. We're like that.
I did not install the Gates. First, because I want what appears to be factory original, (the Bando,) and, because I couldn't get the 19mm nut loose.

Anyone have any real experience to compare the Gates with the Bando? BTW, I got the Gates from Rock Auto, at a pretty good price. www.rockauto.com (http://www.rockauto.com)

Easy solutions:
1. don't change it just because it is old. My 2005 GV has 18K miles on the 2nd oem belt and it is working fine.
2. Solve conflicting info by spending 2x for the oem belt which is about $60?

Watch my video on the belt change to decide if you are really up for it:
