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
What sz is that belt? I got a 2006 united motors matrix150cc
I need help asap please
The size of belt I got was a 835 × 20 × 30
It seems like it is too wide or the variator wont open up. Can someone help?
@@Zowby Sounds like one of the rollers fell out of position. You either need to carefully manipulate one or more back into the correct position, or remove the variator.
What's the size of that belt in the video
Sensational video. I changed my belt in 5 minutes after having watched it. Nevermind the critics, this method works!!!
Great to hear Adam! Be sure to check out my other GY6 videos as well. Thank you
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.
You should be paid for the time saving information you give us the public "what a blessing your info has provided"
Thanks for the nice comment. Sadly, my channel is way under-compensated compared to many other YT channels that don't even help others, they upload goof-off videos. Thanks for watching!
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.
I felt the same way!
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.

bro u JUST SAVED MY BIKE a CVT dissambebly ✔
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

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!
therdhood what if your belt is still too short to fit around the spraket? Then what?
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).
Yes, you should also carry a small bright flashlight and thin metal probe to place the rollers back into position if needed. Thanks for watching Barry! Be sure to check out my GY6 video playlist below and share. ua-cam.com/play/PLQ6IOhUBblU1bkRJ9MagPsKn_Mekq4ws8.html
Thank you very much for a great tutorial. You could call it Roadside Maintenance. If I was in a situation where I needed to replace a belt on one of those machines. I am glad I watched the video. At the same time I could be driving my car and see someone with this situation and they have a spare. I would know how to do it for them. These sort of tutorials are a great help to everyone. You never know when you might need this valuable information. Once again. Many thanks for sharing.
Great tip. I shredded a belt on the road and had to push scooter home. I’m going to get a replacement and keep under my seat because that long walk pushing scooter sucked
ME TOO, IT SUCKS PUSHING A SCOOTER A LONG WAY! 🇺🇲✌️👍
Mannnn
Hey me too 😂😂
😂😂😂same
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.
fantastic video mate love to see those people like yourself not messing with to much chat and getting to the point i will gladly subscribe thanks
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!.
Whaaaaat is this ha.... FANTASTIC well no need of major tool and i don't know to say... very easy and simple...because there is a saying "do it on the hard way or the easy way"..then do it in the easy and simple way as per the video...The very first time i saw this kind of belt removal...thanks a lot and God Bless.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to rate thumbs up, watch my other videos, and share my channel with others.
You just saved me about 3 days bro.. Thank you. That bolt is no joke!!
You know what else is no joke? Removing that nut and not being able to or not knowing how to put it back correctly. It requires a pretty hefty torque setting (60 Newton Meters) and anything below that on a 150cc crankshaft will lead the variator to slowly push out until it catastrophically fails at speed. The variator will explode, possibly damaging the crankshaft.
Better to leave that nut on AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! That's why i always remove the clutch to get the belt in and out, and never the cvt unless I HAVE to change rollers
jenuinly still helping me 9 years later
With this tecnique we safe a lot of time. Great video sir! Thank you!

Hello, im new into scooters. I got a freebee and it needs some work. The belt was put in backwards and i attempted to remove the nut with a hammer and a ratchet, although i have an inpact gun. Now im heading downstairs to swap it to the right rotation, thanks a million.👍👍👍
Thank you sir your Genious, very helpfull in Emergency Situation specially here in the philippines, the special tool is expensive for removing of belt. Actually if i do it infront of other Mechanics they will believe me, they thought im a Genius but secretely i copied it from you dude. Hehehe

ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS IDEA ....many thanks to you.
Nice video. Anyone that's ever changed a belt on a snowmobile knows this is the only way to change one. It's damn cold in the snow and farting around with a broken CV belt is the last thing you want to do!
Thank you!
I just checked out your GY6 playlist and I have to say that I'm impressed and now, I'm also a subscriber! I've been working on my own scooter, a 2014 TaoTao 50cc, and just learning as I go, and now I'm going to start using your videos to show me how to do more. Thanks for all of the work you do!
Richard Bush Thanks for watching Richard! Be sure to share my videos and rate Thumbs Up.
This method only works on scooters that do not have a gear wheel on the left hand side.
Would this method work on a 2001 Honda Elite S (50cc) ????????????????????? Thanks.. And BTW... I'm a newbie with scooters. But I do know my scoot has about 10k miles and while I don't seem to have any slippage... I think it's overdue for a new belt (and I have a Honda OEM) at hand to do it. Thanks
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
Thanks for watching Bart! Be sure to watch my "GY6 Scooter" video playlist and share.
I tried it ,and it worked.100% true.
Great to hear! Make sure you share my channel with many others and watch my other videos. Thank you Ernesto!
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
Thanks John. Be sure to check out all my other videos and rate Thumbs Up.
Got it! will do
You taught me something today. Thank you
Ah thanks man life just a bit easyer now
great video
+Kevin Stearns
Thanks Kevin
Whenever I see instructions I know its the long way...well done
There was no top speed interference when my belt turned to ash in my scooter lol. bike just stopped running. in the middle of the road. but i was lucky enough to JUST get off the highway and hit a red light lol. guess my bike is kinda nice after all :)
+RogzielTheAntistar
Every 500 miles you need to remove the CVT cover and inspect the belt. Always carry an 8mm & 10mm socket/wrench along with a new belt.
RogzielTheAntistar same thing happened to me. Same scenario.
yeah i was lucky too. same thing happened to me as i was overtaking someone. it just jerked and no more acceleration, engine kept running, bike started right up but rear wheel didn't move. i was able to just coast of to the side of the road, luckily traffic was light.
I got 9000+ km (5.6k miles) on a cheap Taotao 50. It's been 18 months since I bought it, but I felt cheated until I read the comment section. Damn, I was lucky. As hard as I ride?
Thanks for this info. my belt broke the other day and I had to wait 5 hours for a ride to pick me up in 95 degree heat
Thank you very much for posting this video. I am currently having to change my drive belt that just shredded apart on me while I was on the road. This video is very helpful and insightful. Thanks again
This is the easiest way to swap out the belt especially if you are on the road. You just have to remove the foot crank and CV cover bolts.
Thanks For Watching!
I haven't tried yet as I'm still waiting for my belt to be shipped but this really makes sense and I'll let you know if I'm successful at this. Not really a pro here but I'll try. Thanks to your video, I'll subscribe. Happy new year!
As long as you bought the correct size belt, and have a strong grip, it should work fine. Thanks for watching!
Thank goodness that I decided to watch this video! My factory belt recently busted on me after 6K miles, and now after watching this, I feel that I may need to have my clutch replaced as well because I have noticed a decrease in speed for a while, despite the big bore upgrade.

Thank you
thanks so much you helped me replace my belt on my bike, it was kinda hard squeezing the clutch it was getting stuck but i just used a vice grip on one side while i squeezed the other with my hand, old video but still a great video . thank you
Glad it helped
Bro you are awesome great thinking and thank you for showing everyone else what you figured out works thank you so much this helped me so much on the side of the road last week

It was very informative and important in the long way.
HONDA CH80 1987. Worked great on my 1987 Honda Elite 80 !! Thanks for posting this info, could do this as an emergency road side repair for sure.
Great to hear!
Thanks man, you just saved me 200 bucks. I was about to buy an impact wrench and tried this. Best 7 minutes i spent in awhile.
Be sure to rate thumbs up and share. Thanks!
Way ahead of you.
You still need an impact if you need to work on your variator or clutch easily.
Impact wrench ( electric ) from Harbor Freight is 47 dollars not 200 dollars. Proper hand tool is 67 dollars and is found on E-Bay can be carried with you.
i finally got it on i had to get someone with an impact wrench...I RIDE ONCE AGAIN..THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
If your belt was that tight, then you had no other option besides removing the variator. At least you're up and running!
I am one of your subscribers for a long time ,, but for some strange reason , I seem to be missing watching this video !!!!
Thanks for your help
I use this technique myself in roadside situations. However I feel compelled to caution to remove variation and inspect relavent parts, such as roller weights guides and guide rails as these parts are most likely why your belt broke disentagrated.
true...Most belts don't snap clean , because they get worn and raggedy first. That i why its worth inspecting them often. But in most cases. opening the clutch pulley will let old belt pieces fall out and the new belt will get you home.
Once home , then it's time to take things apart and "do it right - the hard way "....:))
I would "recommend" this technique for changing belts on a preventive maintenance schedule.
I am finally fix this problem thank you so much for your video thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome! Be sure to share.
wow man thanks for such a good video, absolutely at the right time i watched this video.
just yesterday the belt of my scooter brocket. now by the help of ur video i will change it with out buying tools.
Make sure all debris has been cleaned up. Use a flashlight and make sure the rollers didn't fall out of position. If they did, you'll need to move them back into position using a small wire/probe before installing the new belt.
Great video. Skip ahead to 2:45
Now thats a facepalm moment if ever there was one..!! I recently bought a dune buggy with the GY6 engine and a broken belt, i wasn't looking forward to making a tool to remove bits and generally struggle. Thanks for this tip, it's certainly a HUGE time saver.
Ideally you'd want to swap out the belt before it breaks, otherwise you may need to pull out all the belt fragments and realign the rollers. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore Again thanks for the advice. My engine is in a Hammerhead GTS150 Dune Buggy, i bought it as a non runner from a reliable source, it was a non runner because the belt had snapped and wasnt with the buggy. I will certainly pay close attention when fitting the new belt and make sure nothing is amiss.
I made the mistake of putting 18,000 miles on my scooter without doing anything to the belt. Guise what it broke? I am grateful for your tip it did go on easy and I will pay more attention to keeping it up. Again thanks a lot.

BRILLIANT video,please keep posting, can i ask you when i hold the back pulley and move my rear wheel there is a bit off play (like backlash) is this normal ? or does that mean wear somewhere ?, thank you sir.

Thank you.
My belt wouldn't slip over the front cog thing as easily as the video showed, but turning that cog with the belt on the edge got it right on there. Made the last step of getting the belt on so much easier. I carry my tools in my seat bucket.
*turning that cog with a socket wrench, meant to say

Funny, me and my dad didn't have a impact wrench, so we did this and it works 👌🏽
Never failed for me. :-)
I have to give you 1Million likes for your intelligent, thank you too much for this information 😊🌹
I got a blood blister doing this but saved my self so much time and effort, a fair trade off
Must've pinched your skin. Done it before. Take a sterile needle and poke a hole so the blood can drain out.
@@electronicsNmore I'll pass on the needle 😅 it'll go down in a week, fair to say I'll never use an impact for the job again though
Sounds like my friend from Rhode Island
Dude you're an fffing legend. Much appreciated
Need to try this on Saturday
Couldnt figure out how to open the pulley... Realizing now, it takes two hands AND a foot for me lol. Thanks for the hrlp
Glad to help

It works and can save you in a pinch. If the belt is the only thing broken. If parts have worked their way into the clutch and variator, then you still have a problem.
True, if the variator has become jammed up with debris, or a roller is out of position, you'll have problems.
Thank you! Easy no tools.
Glad it helped!
Well said, im glad i took the time to see what was involved and save myself time and money..
I tried this with my 50cc. I have strong hands but after squeezing the CVT as you mentioned there was just plainly not enough belt to slip over the variator. Soon I will change my new 150's belt and will try this again.
Cool - thank you!

Big Zee Thanks For Watching!
Super easy! I love it! Thanks Bro!!
Thank you so much, I've been having a lot of problems with belts, the last one broke today and I replaced it 4 days ago. I had to leave my scooter 4 miles away from where I live until I get the replacement delivered or I get one tomorrow morning, what do you think it could be the issue?
You're awesome thank you very much
the belt broke on my scooter, on highway
I have an extra belt for the scooter, so we looked on UA-cam and changed the belt this way. Unfortunately something went wrong. The belt is engaging when we’re not giving it gas, so the wheel is spinning when it’s supposed to stay still before, giving it gas. It’s only supposed to engage and spin while you give it gas and accelerate… so we are not sure if we did something wrong?? Or the variator or the Clutch got damaged when the belt broke. Could it be a bad variator or clutch due to damage from the broken snapped belt.. no sure?? Or just a minor adjustment?
definitely the way to go for fast replacement * All scooter owners keep a extra belt
Genuis. Thanks. I hope this works with my yamahai mio i125s.
It works with many similar scooters.Thanks for watching! Good luck.

Wow its going to save me buying one of them special tools but of course if I need to change clutch or variator obviously I need that tool but my clutch and variator ok for now lol so don't need one yet but am in need to change my belt so thanks video very useful.
Thanks for watching Heifield! Be sure to check out all my other GY6 videos.
very informative and makes perfectly sense. After how many belt changes have you notice that a change in variator rollers is needed?
I replaced mine 2x in 10K miles.
Ty buddy, u helped sooooo much!
You deserve like , thats easiest way to get on and off the belt . Still i would recomend geting impact wrench . I have done scooter jobs with shitty tools and trust me , just get yourself the tools. Love the video btw
I'm buying a new belt so I'll do it cheaper then a impact thanks bro
Question, I have a Chinese GY6 150cc scoot I bought used recently. I've taken apart the clutch and cleaned/greased it. I'm a 35 year old guy and DIY mechanic. I got some strength. I'm not able to make the clutch move more than 1" with my fingers. Only way to get it open for me is to use two clamps on each side. Tightening them at the same time. Little by little. I mean, it is under so much tension it is scary to imagine if your finger got in there on accident. Is something wrong with the clutch?
Absolutely this is great thank you
