Simplest Way To Replace A GY6 Scooter CV Belt

It's best to replace the belt using the method shown in this video BEFORE it breaks. If a belt breaks, then you must clean all debris in and around the variator/clutch pulleys. Sometimes the rollers can fall out of position preventing the variator from opening all the way. As time passes, the width of the belt decreases and the belt does not sit as high up in the pulley, which results in a reduced top end speed. These belts can also dry out over time and crack between the cogs. I put 3 -5 thousand miles on my belt. In over 3 1/2yrs, and thousands of miles. The one from the factory is junk, so I immediately replace it with a kevlar belt

Sensational video. I changed my belt in 5 minutes after having watched it. Nevermind the critics, this method works!!!

This is, without a doubt THE BEST approach to replacing the CVT drive belt on most scooters. Quick and easy. Thank You for the tip. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

Thank you so much for posting this. Saved me a lot of hassle with a stranded son's scoot today. Worked just as advertised. It makes perfect sense if you've ever mounted tires. Same principle.

Thanks very much for this video. You saved me $220 and hauling my bike to a repair shop. My old belt was literally torn to shreds. Now that I know the easy way to install a belt, I will definitely be doing this. :)

You should be paid for the time saving information you give us the public "what a blessing your info has provided"

WOW! This should be required viewing for every scooter owner. Thank you friend.

Thank you so much for this invaluable advice, I was able to get my scooter home from a breakdown 30 miles away. And now I know to always carry a spare belt. Regards, Ian.

I was curious, to see if you did anything different....but it's exactly the same way I do it. Works a treat every time. A great help to scooter owners. Very helpful posting

I tried it ,and it worked.100% true.

bro u JUST SAVED MY BIKE a CVT dissambebly ✔

Sorry, like I was saying, dude you are the man! Your video on how to change the drive belt on my scooter save me so much time and unnecessary time put into taking everything apart!.

Great tip. I did discover this myself a few years ago but only after removing my variator a few times unnecessarily. Note though, that you have to be careful to keep the variator pulley spread open while the belt is off or the weights can fall out of position and then you'll have to remove the variator to assemble it again properly. This may apply only if you are using the "slider' type weights though. (Actually even the round "roller" type weights don't really roll in operation, they slide, which is why they develop flat spots).

Just did this two days ago... it worked beautifully. Yes, the new belt going on there (a Gates powerlink) was tight as heck and I had to work it for a few minutes, but it went on.  I stuck the old belt under seat.  I agree with the video... this works perfectly if other parts on your bike are operating correctly. If I am stuck at the side of the road with a blown belt, I am trying this method FIRST!

This is how I've been changing scooter drive belts for years on many different scooters, except I believed you had to take off that front variatior nut! Use to use a Strap Wrench to hold the variator, and use a long handled ratchet to remove the nut until I got an impact.. this is even easier! Subscribed

This worked on my CFMOTO 250cc Honda Reflex clone BUT I used a gear puller to compress the very strong clutch rather than trying to pull it back with my fingers. Three armed 6" gear pullers are $15 at Walmart. You may be able to get by with a really small one. So simple it was unbelievably easy with the gear puller.

With this tecnique we safe a lot of time. Great video sir! Thank you!

My first belt replacement and didn't have a clue, thank you sir.

Used this technique on my Yamaha Morphous CP250. Worked great squeezing the clutch together and then installing the belt.

One of the best instructional videos i have seen on you tube in 5yrs or so I have dreaded checking my belt, which is sounding as if it may need a change. I will not wait till i break down, now, and have to push it home; (I will fix it on the side of the road) .Knowing my avoidance of doing things the right way. Thanks
