Changing belt Kymco people 300gti.

It is not good to loose the variator nut with a ratchet, you will bend the crankshaft and your piston rod bearings will disintergrate, any strong movement on your crankshaft will require you to balance it,,,,,, always use a small impact wrench 120ft-lbs Dewalt impact driver $99.00 at Home depot. To balace your crankshaft you must split the case.

i cracked couple of fins on the variator plate before i realised that i can buy cheap electric impact wrench that does the job perfectly and quickly

have you noticed any change in your engine performance after belt was replaced?

[@user-vx6de1xd2y]

good evening, tell me why the odometer does not work, it does not count km, the speed arrow shows everything ok, the times work, the dashboard works. thank you

[@MrAlkanet-nt9ic]

did you adjust valves on that engine? how many times? have you noticed any change in your engine (sound) before or after valve adjustment? anyone can answer, thx

[@jamesconnors4297]

The new belt looks to be hanging a lot lower the original one ?

yes original Mitsuboshi 25,2mm.

thats before you run the engine, once you turn it on for couple of seconds it becomes tight... dont ask me why but it just does, i noticed that when i took mine appart, and put it back on (the same belt -it looked loose, but only before i started it again) the clutch spring probably adjusts it after some turns or something
