I went on a ride yesterday and collected one of these, just a warning. The officer seemed very interested in the scoot, asked some questions like how fast, how many gears, so no clutch? LOL! He was cool about it, because scooters are limited to 35 mph here, he could have made big trouble for me. He stopped me on the Blvd long after it slows to 25 mph from 35 mph. He said something about 42 in a 35 I think, but actually had stopped me when I was already deep in the 25 mph zone so....... Got back to the shop and took a peek at my new belt. oldskool said "it has plenty of life left!" I checked my notes, 77 miles on this belt I need something that counts each time the front wheel comes up, start measuring belt wear by number of wheelies. Probably +250 on this belt. Cost per wheelie, belt is $35 divide by 250 wheelies = 14 cents per wheelie. Completely worth it! Thought it is strange to come apart like this, on the outside. Also noticed the side of the belt that faces the CVT cover looks abused but the other side looks great. What could be causing this? Anyone?

Nice job on the speed award. Contact with something for the belt issue? I wouldn't think a belt should delaminate without some form of contact. At least look over what's left of the outside and see if there are any signs or if you see anything in the CVT area. Another thought is maybe there was something wrong with that belt from the start? Try another belt and see if it happens again if you though that was the case. Some people have reported belts flipping over in the CVT. I guess if it started to flip, it could catch and strip/grind the belt... but I'd think you'd notice an "event" if that sort of thing was happening.
