Drive belt robbery
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?!? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

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.

I appreciate everyone's help.
The Dennis Kirk belt measures 1.125" and the Voyager belt measures 1.02 " Not sure if he Dennis Kirk belt's extra width (only .105") will ride too hard on the rear sprocket belt guard? My Kawasaki belt runs tight with the rear sprocket guard, which might be ok depending on the wheel alignment? For the slight difference in width and the way more reasonable price I think it is worth trying. Has anyone else bought one of these belts? Comments are welcome always.
