Dave has decided that my scoot will undergo regular preventive maintenance in the form of a belt check. He said that short of a catastrophic event breaking the belt that regular use will produce cracks on the teeth side of the belt before it breaks. When you see cracks on the belt, it's time for a change. I bet there are several items that could be checked and fixed prior to breakage, we should start a preventive maintenance list.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429912093374710215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458890811413794242.post-30710881097664346222010-07-24T23:12:24.632-05:002010-07-24T23:12:24.632-05:00To be honest it is easier than posted.

Then he loosened both sides of the axle on the tire and the belt came right off....you put the new one on and tighten it back up.
