Why does my scooter drive belt keep breaking?

by Anonymous
(Somewhere)

When my scooter drive belt broke I took it to the repair shop. They cleaned the clutch and the variator, but it still broke 3 new belts. They said that when it starts to run the belt flops up and down, then it will run OK for a few minutes before the belt breaks and they don't know why.


Any thoughts?

I think I've just found the reason.
The kick start helical gear which marries up with the starter flywheel has slipped and is protruding approx 2mm further than it should causing the fan to snap, which then causes the belt to overheat and shred. I thought it was happening other way around. Belt snapping and breaking fan. Live and learn.

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...
