I was kind of thinking this ^^^^. Time to order parts. Thx greasy125
I know there's a lot of variables that determine wear and tear, but is there a reasonable range in miles one can expect to replace belt and rollers?
i generally do trans service on kymco air-cooled 125/150's at 5K so you're right in the wheelhouse, so to speak.
if you've not gone thru the clutch and pulley (surfacing, checking, lubing) it would be a good idea to do so. more than likely the drive pulley is just super crusty and needs cleaned and lubed. surface the clutch and bell and lube all the moving bits and you should be good to go.
also, i believe that there's an aftermarket belt available that's substantially cheaper than the OEM kymco unit-- but is high quality. either way, those parts aren't too spendy.
don't forget to do the guides while you're in there!
holler at me if you need anything and i'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
