The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I found some manufactors for v-belts.
Polini, malossi ed.

Which one is the best?
I want to drive as many miles/kilometers with the belt.

Grtz

Best one is the standard one from Honda, it lasts 16,000 miles.
Dayco and Gates are OK if they do one for the Forza.
Anything else is junk.

Malossi belts are wider than stock don't know about Polini. As it is wider it will not sit as low in the front pulley which raises the "first" gear ratio, which will negatively effect off the line acceleration.

Kevlar belts are yes made with kevlar but stock belts have aramide which is the generic name for kevlar. One can test a broken belt by trying to burn the fibres, if they extinguish when the flame is removed they are aramide, if they continue to burn they are not.

If in doubt go stock.

No need, plenty others have reported their experiences with them.
All you need do is look.

Can't recall seeing anyone post about using a different belt on a Forza 300 in this forum.
If you want to hear from people who have actually used shite quality belts on a Forza 300 you're pronbably going to have to look elsewhere.

Certainly no expert here on scooter belts - but I hear the same on Burgman and Kymco forums: "Best belts are the stock belts as fitted by the factory - purchased from dealer or trusted stockist." (not eBay/Chinese)
Too important a scooter part to be experimenting with, IMHO.
Working for me.

Go with proper Honda belts - there are posts here from time to time of those that have fitted other make belts and had problems (width, length not quite right). For the cost difference of a few pounds or so, why take the chance.

The money isn't a problem. But I eas curious about it

GN2 (that you are usually right), check the part number (the new one, not to mention about some other too) & tell us: on which machine was installed in the first place?

Part number 23100-KTW-901 is for these models: http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/microfi ... W-901.html
Part number 23100-KO4-931 is for these models: http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/microfi ... 4-931.html

Kevlar belt worked better and lasted longer on my burg 400k8 than stock. There was a squeeling problem pulling away which was also solved. Lasted 15000 miles and sold it in good condition with another 5000 miles in it. 22g rollers so not slapping about as much as the 18g. Was a poling.

As the man said one is/was SH300 the other is Forza. But the site you quoted uses Honda part numbers and may sell original parts but is NOT Honda.
I and others are suggesting that posters use original Honda Parts from Honda. Although as has also been said Gates belts are OK, if bought from a gates supplier.

$129 for a belt? Are they crazy? PCX belt is around $20 here?
