yes and i wish i redone my bt a few weeks back saving up for 250 kawasaki and to do my test this is just to get me to work and back it was cheap and ideal as i hate scooters shape of a bike and actually looks nice i tried a few different rollers and took the belt to a garage to make sure it was the right one and it is

Might sound silly but when I was messing around with my scooter I tried pulling the front drive wheel which caused one of the rollers to move out of place. When you look at the front drive wheel is the belt sitting right at the bottom, top or in the middle? My first guess would be that and it's an easy problem to sort. Just turn the front drive wheel slowly (if that is what it is called, hopefully someone could give it the proper name), while trying to pull it back into place.

If you start it with the back wheel off the ground and have a look at where the belt is running that could give you an idea of what is going on.

Hope that makes some sense.

as far as were aware the belt and rollers are right they are just standered ones. the scooter runs fine while on stand its when you get on to it it just will not go past 20mphnot sure about the belp but everything seems fine my dad inlaw is working on it and he is the machanic for the nortons so he knows what he is doing its been sujested that the main jet needs changing as it has a race exaust on

I'm not really sure what advice you're after. It was running mostly OK, you did stuff, now it's borked. Only you know what you actually did to it, and you have an expert on hand.

However, the real reason I'm posting this is to say...

Every fifth post in this section seems to be about Gileras, and yet we warn people off Chinese branded bikes. Neutral
