The problem still exist. But the belt did indeed last longer.

I contacted partsforscooters via voicemail, where I ordered the engine asking if there's anything I can buy from them to fix be able to fix it. To possibly some type of rig.

Hopefully, even though there's no warranty, they can help me configure something out. That's what I pray for.

I can't afford to keep breaking down every 10 miles due to a belt getting destroyed . The company I work for just promoted me to management, and I have to drop off bank deposits every morning.

Nope. I've been pretty on point about that part of the system .

I'm stuck at work and can't respond like I really want to sadly..

I want to ask a question that'll make you say .. Could someone cut open a hole inside of the CVT area so the chain could act as a fan?

It's a dumb but logical question..

That makes a lot of sense. These wheels are aluminum alloy. Thanks for the definition, the wheel hub is beyond shinny and slick. So where the brake shoes. I think there was random seizing going on because of it, plus heat. I'm sure that heat transferred to the CVT area somehow.

I drained out the gear oil and replaced it with Lucas gear oil, 80w 90w.

I attached a clamp to the rear axle and tested the gears in many different rotations. I don't know if it was good luck from the new oil but it was much smoother. Yet the spin grew quicker overtime.

If there was a lack of oil there it should decrease heat.

I'm awaiting for my new clutch to come in as well brake shoes by tomorrow.

I need to invest in a method to change belts varriators etc from anywhere. Regardless if it ate a belt again I could make it home.

As for not being able to adjust the brakes without dragging kinda answers my question with the beyond slick hub. Yet the pads are practically gone. It just had to of been seizing slightly during rides causing crazy heat. Found black dust in the hub

Hey czmdiver.

I attempted to work on it but my tools went missing. But yesterday I did that after dissembling and resembling the brake shoes. There's a bit of a snag if I tighten the brakes sadly a little.

If you tighten the brakes well it's push squeak, push squeak. Repeated sequence after every 360 turn to the wheel. During the squeaks the rear wheel locks up a little, pretty positive it's the brake shoes doing that.

I have considered getting a shorter drive shaft for the wheel any who, plus changing out the gear set to a higher ratio.

As for gear oil. I did the entire lock thread method in the drain bolt. I have always inspected that area for any leaks plus I typically feel the case right there. The motor is pretty new. That I'm aware of miles wise it only has 5,000 on my part.

Belt brands are Gates. And a few cayco. Haven't found any off brands as of yet.

I ordered a new clutch. Rebuilt a used varriator, like new.

Atm I'm looking into rebuilding the rear just so I know everything is covered.

Do I need a hydrologic press like the internet is saying?

Also does it matter if I use synthetic gear oil? I'd like to go with royal purple.

Thank you for the pointer! I'll check it out when I get off.

This actually happened three weeks ago but I ignored it as I didn't intend on riding the scooter for some time. I'm going to attempt to do an exact rundown.

Originally the rear wheel locked up and I almost went down with the bike. I couldn't even push it. I found out the belt snapped inside of the clutch.

One hundred percent cleaned the clutch and nothing seemed faulty other than being stock..

The rear wheel was fully examined, it appears one of the brake shoes became faulty, after cleaning that area it seemed to be fine.

I cleaned the entire CVT area. Nothing oil based. Nothing abrasive either.

I replaced the varriator, I thought I had broke it but I didn't, when I broke down it ended up getting stuck in high gear. Never seen such a thing in my life.

Well after a new bbk and a strong look over I knew the bike was ready for testing. Drove around 25 miles just fine.

Day two: after 17 miles I heard a squash sound. I assumed the belt stretched due to heat. After a partial pull over I managed to find somewhere to waste time while that area cooled. On start up I could tell the rollers had flat spots at that point. You could feel the rumble on the handle bars in low gear. But managed to put slowly to work..

I knew regardless I was breaking down. And I did..

It sounded like the varriator flew off the shaft. I swore I heard the rollers smack inside but I was way off.

After inspecting, the CVT area is 10 times dirtier than before, as well the clutch. The belt is oddly still on but shredded. The varriator fan is melted really bad..

Other than that the bike still runs.

I know this is possibly an air flow issue..

But what could honestly possibly be the culprit? Maybe gear oil levels? Brake shoes rubbing without me knowing transferring heat to the CVT?

I'm honestly lost right now..

Sorry for the long post I tried explaining everything..
