Title: Aftermarket Parts
Post by: agilebda on May 27, 2022, 10:31:04 AM

Hello Guys, I know this is a sticky option. Would you trust aftermarket parts from amazon?

For the starter motor I would go for this AMAZON  offer. If it dies prematurely, okay, no real harm done, except 1/2 an hour of your time to replace.

As for the belt I might rather stick to BANDO or OEM material, for reasons of possible CVT and clutch destruction.

I agree with Ruffus on this. Besides, the belt length is incorrect as it should be 1004 mm not 1030 mm.

Thanks guys,

Yeah a little skeptical about the belt for sure. It's amazing how the price is through the roof with the OEM belts.

Curious...
How old is your scooter?
How often have you replaced the belt?

The thing about Amazon is a great and easy return system. You ( or I ) could try that belt and if the length turned out to be a typo (1003 mm instead of 1030 mm) it might be a good item. You could direct compare if you had a spare genuine belt.
