Does a Honda Silverwing scooter have a belt drive?

by Wallace Fiala

I have a 2006 Honda Silver Wing with a cvt and would like to know if the final drive is belt or something other. It is fully enclosed and would require disassembly to find out.


Thanks, Wally in Iowa

The Honda silver is belt driven from motor to
clutch.

Some of the bigger scooters have a shaft final drive. You would have to go to the Silverwing forum or buy the shop manual to find out.

If you have a CVT final drive then I would say Yes you would have a belt to replace. I hope this is helpful

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
