It offers mechanical beauty and an overwhelmingly \"silky\" riding experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree benefits that change drivetrain conventions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Surprisingly \"quiet and smooth\" acceleration\u003cbr\u003eThe \"chattering\" metallic sound characteristic of chains and the jerky feeling during acceleration and deceleration are eliminated. The inherent elasticity of the belt drive gently transfers the engine's pulsations to the tires, transforming the riding experience into a refined and silky feel, as if riding a high-end electric motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. The freedom of \"maintenance-free\" operation\u003cbr\u003eYou are freed from the \"regular cleaning\" and \"lubrication\" essential for chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo dirty hands: Since no oil is used, the rear wheel area will not get dirty from flung grease.\u003cbr\u003eNo adjustment needed: Since it hardly stretches like a metal chain, frequent tension adjustments are unnecessary. The belt is made by GATES, a high-performance brand used in Harley-Davidsons and other vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. \"Pulleys\" as sculptural art\u003cbr\u003eThe large, machined aluminum pulleys (gears) are themselves like precise works of art. Especially when the sprocket cover is removed, the sight of the belt turning neatly is the ultimate expression of **\"functional beauty\"** for mechanical enthusiasts. It adds a modern and clean accent to the retro appearance of the Monkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is lighter compared to chain sets of equivalent strength. This kit uses aluminum sprockets for further weight reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*About belt tension adjustment\u003cbr\u003eInitial adjustment of the belt drive is crucial. If it is too loose, it can break or its lifespan will be shortened.\u003cbr\u003eTension gauge\u003cbr\u003eMeasure \"deflection\" when a load of approximately 4.5kg (10 pounds) is applied.\u003cbr\u003eDeflection guideline: 8mm to 14mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Simple measurement with fingers\" without using a tension gauge\u003cbr\u003eIt is difficult to apply an exact 4.5kg load, but you can judge by the feel when pressing firmly with the pad of your finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement guideline:\u003cbr\u003ePress down firmly on the midpoint of the upper and lower spans of the belt with your thumb. Generally, there should be a deflection where \"the first joint of your thumb sinks slightly **\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e(about 10mm to 15mm)\u003c\/span\u003e**.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigns of \"too tight\":\u003cbr\u003eIf it barely moves when pressed with a finger, or if it's so stiff that your finger hurts, it's too tight. This can damage bearings and cause a \"whirring\" noise while riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigns of \"too loose\":\u003cbr\u003eIf it lifts off the pulley teeth with a light press of a finger, or if the belt undulates, it will \"skip\" during acceleration and deceleration, damaging the belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret to extending belt life is to adjust it so that it's not overly tight at its \"tightest point.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the belt\u003cbr\u003eThe belt used is durable GATES brand.\u003cbr\u003eIt may be damaged prematurely if not set correctly, or depending on road conditions or external pressure and usage.\u003cbr\u003eIf any abnormalities (cracks, damage, or missing parts) are found before installation, please contact us without installing it, as we will replace it. After installation, it is considered inspected and approved, and we will not provide warranty for any reason.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, we do not guarantee its performance indefinitely. If wear, damage, or abnormalities are found on the belt, please replace it with a new belt immediately.\u003cbr\u003ePurchasing this product implies that you understand and agree to the above terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maintenance method for Harley-Davidson's belt drive is basically the same, so please refer to it.\u003cbr\u003eDrive belt maintenance method\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G-NOTE","offers":[{"title":"Full Set","offer_id":57300491370656,"sku":null,"price":79800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Belt only","offer_id":57300491403424,"sku":null,"price":39000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9393\/9616\/files\/GROM-003.png?v=1779805651","url":"https:\/\/8ftweekend.com\/en\/products\/belt-drive-grom125","provider":"8ft Weekend","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
