Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know when the drive belt needs replacing? A: Slipping on acceleration, glazing on the belt surface, and visible cracks are the usual signs that a drive belt is worn out. Replace it before it fails to avoid being stranded on the trail.

Q: Should I clean the clutch sheaves when installing a new belt? A: Yes, wiping the sheave faces with a clean lint-free cloth removes old belt residue that causes a fresh drive belt to slip. Avoid solvent on the sheave faces since it can damage the surface.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
