Change chain for Belt drive
Hello, I read few days ago in a web about hyosungs, that someone wanted to change de power transmission drive to a belt drive, and he talked about some Venox, a club that decided to change few bikes, that changed the drive, and was not even twice the cost of a normal transmission kit.
The advantages were several, not any more chain lube on the rim, last more, looks great... Has anyone ever tried, made or think about it into a SV? PD: Forgive my poor english. |

Re: Change chain for Belt drive
Those pictures, the sun shine... I miss summer. I am so cold now...
 Anyway, interesting, but the thread stopped.  I like the idea of low maintenance, but I have one worry. Maintenance is when you notice that little fault and correct it before it becomes a dangerous occurrence. Maybe this is why the thread stopped!  Would the force given out by a standard SV engine really be enough to damage a drive belt? I would love to see the guys research here. Also given (and lets be honest here) that the SV is a relatively cheap bike, some parts are put there because they are cheap and they do wear out. Is an expensive up grade like this worth while in the long term?  This greatly intrigues me, although I am not sure I like the aesthetic of a big rear pulley wheel. I like my little sporty look, it looks great chained up in my garage!

Asked about the power that provides the SV engine... I give you the example of the BMW F 800(any model of the series) Bicilyndric on Line, and belt drive. It has 85hp, at lower rpm than the SV so it has lots more of torque. BMW F800s  SV 650  So I think it's not a fact of power transmitted to the wheel, or to the drive. |
