Drive belt wear limit?

Post by gn2 »

Wonder if one of you kind fellows with a service manual for the Forza could post the wear limit for the drive belt please?
Need to check mine, its getting close to 16,000 miles and could be needing replaced.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

I let the belt on my PCX go a long time and changed it at 16,000 miles. It was a full mm narrower than new but wasn't losing top speed since the center stop of the vario and drive face were apparently wearing by the same amount (I use sliders so the center is the stop). I think cracks, loss of top speed, or slipping/ shuddering would define the practical time to replace.
