Description

Eliminate sluggish off-the-line acceleration and restore the top-end speed of your 50cc motor platform with this premium, heavy-duty Bando 651-18-30 CVT Drive Belt. Manufactured in Japan to exact original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, this belt serves as a direct factory replacement engineered to handle high-friction thermal environments and minimize dimensional stretching over extensive mileage. Bando is the trusted OEM belt supplier for Genuine, Honda, Yamaha, and Kymco.

Key Features

  • Perfect OEM Specs: Exact 651mm length, 18mm width, and 30° angle for the Genuine 50's transmission — ensures perfect pulley engagement
  • Reinforced Construction: High-tensile fiber-reinforced rubber resists stretching under load, preventing slap and slippage
  • Heat-Resistant Compound: Advanced rubber compound withstands the high-friction environment of the transmission case for extended belt life
  • Smooth Shifting: Precision manufacturing maintains consistent belt width throughout service life for predictable shifting from take-off to top speed

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 651mm x 18mm x 30°
  • Construction: High-tensile fiber-reinforced rubber
  • Brand: Bando
  • Application: Genuine 50cc 2-stroke CVT systems

Compatibility

Brand Model Application
Genuine Buddy 50 All 50cc 2-stroke models
Installation Tip: Ensure the transmission is in the "neutral" position (variator fully open) when installing so the belt sits deep in the rear pulley — makes the install significantly easier.

Break-In Tip: Avoid wide-open-throttle runs for the first 20–30 miles after installing a new belt. This allows the belt to seat correctly against the pulley faces and prevents premature glazing.

Also available through your local Genuine dealer.
