- May 28, 2014, 22:19:48 PMOk, here is the bad part about the Scootworks mondo belt drive system. I was very happy with it as far as performance and ease of maintenance, then after a few thousand miles I took off the side cover that covers the front pulley, and the scootworks aluminum pulley is almost gone! the teeth are so worn down that the belt is in a U shaped groove. I can see where the unworn portion of the pulley closest to the nut and lock washer is a good 1/4 inch or more thicker than the rest of the pulley. The belt looks fine, and the rear pulley doesnt look bad, but I am not going to spend another 250.00 plus shipping on another front pulley that will only last about 5500 miles. Why werent these things made from steel like the ones on the vulcan 900, and most other bikes ive seen? Oh yeah, to sell more 250.00 pulleys! Ps. will be going back to chain drive, have ordered an 18t front and 38t rear sprockets and new chain, still cheaper than a pulley!

- January 03, 2012, 23:15:19 PMSame here on posting in a while. My fiancee had a double lung transplant December 9th!!! I'm so excited for her!!! I'm glad to hear that the new iteration of the belt drive works a bit better. That's my plan for this spring/late winter. Next thing I'm going to get are bags for my ghost brackets. Thanks for the replies everybody!

I had the current "Mondo" version of ScootWorks belt drive installed for about 1500 miles. So far, I don't have any concerns about the design or performance of the belt. Everything seems to be going according to plan. I was surprised at how much quieter the belt was over the chain. Of course, the last chain noises I heard were its death rattles.
It's so nice not having to crawl around on the ground trying to lube the #$%@ chain.

- October 12, 2011, 21:46:59 PMHow is the cleanliness and ride as far as that goes? Obviously it wont be as smooth as my gpa's roadking but I'm looking for a bit smoother ride. Obviously being able to keep the back wheel/tire as clean as possible with a modicum (spelling???) amount of cleaning would be nice as well.

- October 11, 2011, 21:56:52 PMI've got about 4500 miles on my belt drive from scootworks. Zero problems, and it still looks brand new. Make sure you order the newest belt drive system that scootworks makes, I think it is the "Monsta" belt system. This is the one with the large teeth on the belt, that they claim will even handle "Hayabusa" type horsepower. With the larger teeth, you don't have to put so much tension on the belt like you did with their previous system. I had a small pebble work it's way all the way through the previous belt because of the excessive tension, plus I was worried about wearing out the output bearing. This I had heard was a serious problem before.

- June 29, 2011, 22:47:30 PM Sorry it has been so long since I posted on this subject.
I really like the belt drive system over the chain. So far it is trouble free and a lot more fun to ride.
Shifts better, no lurching like I had with the chain, is quieter and rides more comfortable as I had to soften the shock setting.
I don't know how easy or hard it was to install as I had my mechanic friend do it in his garage. I am not mechanical at all. All my maintenance goes to the shop except for oil and filter changes.

- May 05, 2011, 00:53:21 AMI have bought several products from scootworks and have nothing but praise for them. I bought their original belt drive kit several years ago, but heard that since the teeth were so small that you had to put a lot of tension on the belt wich could cause the output bearing to fail. I got in touch with scootworks and they gave me a 250.00 credit toward the new and improved beltdrive kit which has larger teeth similar to most other belt drive systems. I e-mailed them a couple weeks after my order, and they apoligised for the wait and emediatly sent by priority mail for no extra charge and it arrived 2 days later. I've had it on my 2000 drifter for 2 years now with no problems whatsoever, and my whitewalls have no chain lube on them! I am totally happy with scootworks products. Jamey Wright #285

- November 17, 2010, 10:27:06 AMYeah, my grandpa bought a 1500 drifter and I was surprised at how big yet comfortable it was to ride. I only don't like the handle bars, they seem a bit too short to me.

- November 17, 2010, 10:17:27 AM I don't know why they are shredding either. A lot of new bikes today are belt drive with a mono shock and have no problems.
I hope mine lasts but just in case it doesen't I kept the chain and sprockets. If I have to I will reinstall them and sell the 800 to get a 1500 shaft drive.
I would have bought a 1500 in the first place but didn't think the wife could reach the ground comfortably. Turns out she could have.

- November 16, 2010, 22:37:36 PMWell, I'm just wondering why all these belts are shredding on other drifters. The rear monoshock idea isn't new, that's how softails are made. Of course it may be because of a shoddy aftermarket product but I dunno, I sort of doubt it.
