Benefits of a New CVT Belt

Replacing a worn transmission belt can restore your scooter's original performance by improving:

• Acceleration
• Top speed
• Throttle response
• Smooth CVT shifting
• Power transfer
• Fuel efficiency
• Ride quality
• Transmission reliability
• Overall drivability

Understanding the Belt Size

977 × 26.4 × 28

Each number has an important purpose:

977mm

• Overall belt length
• Ensures correct pulley travel

26.4mm

• Belt width
• Maintains proper ride height inside the variator
• Helps preserve factory acceleration and top speed

28°

• Belt side angle
• Matches the pulley faces for maximum contact and reduced slipping

Using the correct belt dimensions is critical for proper transmission operation.

Engineered for CVT Performance

The continuously variable transmission (CVT) depends entirely on the drive belt to transfer engine power to the rear wheel.

A properly manufactured belt helps maintain:

• Smooth engagement
• Consistent gear ratio changes
• Stable engine RPM
• Reduced belt slip
• Proper variator movement
• Maximum pulley contact
• Efficient power delivery

Why Choose a Cogged Belt?

The precision-molded cogged design allows the belt to:

• Bend easier around pulleys
• Generate less heat
• Improve cooling
• Reduce internal stress
• Increase flexibility
• Extend belt service life
• Deliver smoother operation

Heat Resistant Construction

CVT transmissions generate significant heat during operation.

The Bando belt is designed to withstand high operating temperatures while helping reduce:

• Heat buildup
• Premature wear
• Belt glazing
• Hardening
• Cracking
• Performance loss

High-Tensile Internal Reinforcement

Inside the belt are heavy-duty tensile cords engineered to:

• Minimize belt stretch
• Maintain dimensional stability
• Handle repeated acceleration
• Resist separation
• Improve long-term durability
• Support consistent CVT performance

Signs Your Belt May Need Replacement

Common symptoms of a worn drive belt include:

• Slow acceleration
• Reduced top speed
• Jerky takeoffs
• Belt squealing
• Engine revs increasing without vehicle speed
• Excessive black belt dust inside the CVT cover
• Cracks on the belt ribs
• Frayed belt edges
• Belt width worn below service specification

Replacing the belt before failure helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and can reduce unnecessary wear on other CVT components.

Installation Recommendations

For the best results, inspect the following components whenever replacing the drive belt:

• Variator rollers or sliders
• Variator ramp plate
• Drive face
• Clutch assembly
• Clutch bell
• Torque driver
• Pulley faces
• CVT guides
• CVT air filter (if equipped)

Clean all pulley surfaces before installation and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications during reassembly.

Routine CVT Maintenance

Routine inspection of the CVT system helps maximize transmission life and performance.

During service, inspect for:

• Belt wear
• Belt width
• Pulley wear
• Roller flat spots
• Clutch shoe wear
• Clutch bell discoloration
• Oil or grease contamination
• Excessive belt dust

Replacing worn components together often results in smoother operation and longer service life.

Built for Everyday Riding

Whether you're commuting daily, touring on the highway, or simply replacing worn transmission components, the Bando 977-26.4-28 delivers dependable performance with factory-quality fit and long-lasting durability.
