Best after-market drive belt for NCY variator & drive face?

Post by Brent »

Anyone know if there is an after-market drive belt that can hold up better to NCY's variator and drive face than the stock Honda drive belt? I have been doing a lot of 65 to 70mph riding lately, and I am wondering about premature drive belt wear from the higher speeds. Thanks!

I have read on this forum in the past that the Daytona reinforced belt is ideal.
They are a bit more expensive than stock belts. https://japan.webike.net/products/21113323.html

You may want to read this thread to get an idea of what others have found and why.

Thanks Mel!

By the way, just pasted 20,700 miles on my 2015 piglet (Positive nickname! Not a big "Hog" but a smaller, funner, squirrelly bike!) Once I hit 24,901 miles, I am going to buy myself a trophy that has a world on top of it, where I will glue a small likeness of my PCX 150. I will call it the, "Iron Butt Award." The inscription will read something like, "Awarded to Brent, for traveling 24,901 miles on a PCX 150, the distance around the Earth at its circumference, October 23, 2017. I will upload a picture of my trophy once I reach my milestone!

If in doubt, why not just pop the cover off and inspect it? (it only takes a few minutes).

I'm running the stock variator but still spend a lot of time at wide-open-throttle, and I've just replaced my belt for the first time at 33,000km. The belt that came off was showing cracks between the teeth, but I don't believe it was anywhere near breaking point (I'm planning a test to see if it'll still lift several hundred KG to test it's remaining strength).

nicuts,
I don't know what the shipping costs are for the site that I use but you can contact them to find out. They have a link for contacting them.
I use corsportusa.com
