Hey guys! My 10,000 mile chinese scoot belt disentigrated 6 months ago so I put a new, non Kevlar belt on and 2 days ago it broke. There was a diagonal 2" slice where it broke. Inspection showed nothing unusual to cause a tear except I guess wear so I replaced it with a Gates Powerlink which is supposed to have some Kevlar. Question: Is it unusual for a belt to break like that after 6 months? I did notice that the round metal tube that the belt rests on was jammed into the roller guiding plate cover and I could only get the cover off the tube about 1/16 of an inch. Its really jammed on tight. The roller used to be loose. Does that tube have to be loose, or does tightening the main outer nut with my air gun lock it in anyway???
