Update: Scooterbelts.com sent me another new belt. They could not figure out why was this one belt 15mm too long. But now I'm happy since I got new belt


But I think I leave this as a spare belt and try to find out where to get 918 gates powerlink. Any help would be great.

bhinch I just ordered 2 belts from scooterbelt.com and will never order single one from them anymore if they don't send me at least one new belt.

Another one was 15mm too long compared to another one. I discussed about that by email with them. They said that there might have been some depris in my variator which caused this stretching. But no way as I drive only 25 miles using that belt and it felt always very slippery and I opened variator and noticed that it was way toooooo long. And I always clean my variator and clutch with break cleaner spray when I install something to my variator.

So I tried to ask them what they think have happened with that belt. The only answer was that they have never had any problem with belts. Then we discussed that I send it back. They will look the belt and send me another one back.
Now I'm waiting another belt from them, but hardly believe they will send me another. And sending belt back to them cost me over 15 dollar if i remember right.

And what about that another their belt. First it was exactly same width than my 6000 miles ridden gates powerlink 918 belt. I measured them both. But 100 miles after this new another belt is also already stretched 5mm and started slipping as hell. It even started to wear and go really small dust. My driving plate was full of that black rubber dust which caused that slipping.

No any belt should stretch 5-15mm when used only 25-100 miles.
So I bought two belts from them and even sent another one back so they can figure out if there has been some problem in their belt "factory" or something.
If they don't send me even one back as complement (I think I deserve at least two), I will write negative commet of scooterbelt.com in every scooter forum I know. But if they are good people and send me another new one I will give it a change. But as I said I don't believe they will send me new one because I live another side of earth. It is easy to fool people who lives that far.

Now I put that good old used and unstretched gates powerlink 918 belt back and no slipping at all. That's why I want new powerlink. It is good, trustworthy and long lasting belt.

Is it really so that anyone of you haven't been thinking of DRL led system?
Or is this hot only in european?
Almost any of new cars have these. Audi, vw, lexus, opel, alfa romeo,...
Even in some new motorcycles have these.

If you install afterwards some electric like 12v socket, digital volt meter, radio, alarm, grip heaters, extra lights, extra leds or anything...
It is good to use relays, fuses and own wires for those electric parts. That's how you can separate them from scooters own wiring. Then if you someday have anykind of electric problem it is much easier to find where the problem is because you can easily disassemble your electric parts one by one just by taking fuses off.

Hey guys have any of you tried DRL led light systems to your scooter?

I didn't find any black or dark gray scooter picture for photoshopping. This was the only large picture I quickly found from google which shows scooter front.

I think those might look good in black or dark gray scooter. Maybe I will give them a try. Wiring is easy to make. Just connect wires to those little daytime running light wires. Don't even need to remove front plastic when connecting from underneath.

First check all the ground wires that they have good connection. Grounding is often the reason for low volts in certain circuit.

Yes I can reach also. But someday you will break that connector. Some sort of swich would be better.
Hmm.. I guess when you once disconnect it. You don't often reconnect it again. Good spare bulb
