Yamaha Xmax 2014 125cc v-belt - Reliability advice after breaking down
Hi all,
I wanted to ask you something about the v-belt of the Xmax (scooter) and its reliability.
I left London at the beginning of September to a trip with my bike. The first problem happened just after crossing the Channel tunnel in France, the vbelt broken with 11000 miles and I replaced it in France (by a non original part, but a reliable brand anyway).
Today I am in Alabania, I've done about 2500 miles in 20 days with the bike with a very conservative riding I think. In the highway riding at a lorry speed (about 60 miles per hour and never more than 8000 rpm), doing breaks every hour, etc.
As I was saying, today the v-belt broke again and I now I am concerned that this is just bad luck or I am forcing the bike. We will replace it tomorrow, but considering that I have not been riding fast and doing brakes (as usual in a 125cc bike), I am concerned about it the feasibility of my trip.
It would be great if you could give me your view on this.
Thanks in advance!
