Drive belt robbery

vvbluerider · Today, 01:06 PM

My belt failed at 57,000 miles, lost many teeth so new belt required.

Kawi wants $546 for a new belt....ouch! Beyond ridiculous.

My Harley belt went over 100k miles, FYI.

Has anyone found an aftermarket belt that does not rob all the $$$$ out of your wallet? Apparently Kawi has an iron clad monopoly on this part, bow down to the beast?!?

You can look on Ebay for a used one with low miles or check some salvage yards. Several on Ebay for around $200. I have 87000 on mine and will probably replace it at 100,000.

Maybe something in the link will be helpful.

Also send a PM to GV550 on this forum. He might be able to help. He has put hundreds of thousands of miles on Voyagers and might know a good source for a replacement belt.
