OEM every time.
Only because Gates or Dayco don't do one for the NSS300
Get a real OEM one direct from Thailand.
That's what I did, was airmailed to me for £40ish all in.

It is a guess if you get a good one or not from China or Thailand. Basically no warranty. I have had good ones and bad ones.
Some I have taken off at 25,000 km and they look brand new.
Other were disasters. See my next post.

This the belt that I used to go to Dawson City, Yukon and back.
Lots of ribs missing but it was working OK.
I think my wobbly clutch was removing the ribs on a belt guide in the swing arm.
Or maybe the belt was a few millimetres too long? I don't know.
The belt was from Thailand.

I have decided to buy this OEM one off ebay.
Buying cheap means buying twice, I am going to avoid that route this time.

That looks like a great price! Better order before you need it because no idea how long the shipping will take.
