Hello everybody... My name is Gary, I live near Oxford and run a company called Sportax Racing. I bought 'Sportax motorcycles' off Malcolm & Tara just over 12 months ago. I've been kept busy sorting out the website and stock etc and have been kept busy building ROTAX engines. I've been a member of the MT forum for a few years and enjoy going on there meets and ride outs. Just recently I've had a few CCM's in for repair and rebuilds and the owners mentioned this forum.. So i thought I'd join and say hello! |

Thanks all for the welcome.. I had a visit from tasmandevil today, the chap who's belt broke on his second day of CCM ownership. He gave me his motor to check out.. I'll document the progress on his no compression thread. I asked him to bring the belt which broke and like many I've rebuilt it had a machine belt fitted and not an automotive spec belt.. |

I found this when finding a belt for the stroker. Some belts even though the correct size and pitch are made for electric drive machines. As it happens Honda Acty Van fits mine. |

Yep this is becoming a problem as folk try to find a bargain and end up fitting a machine belt instead of an automotive belt. I took a selection to the Stafford Classic Bike Show this year to show people the difference... Some of the Rotax engines are safe if the belt breaks as we all know but there is nothing fun about changing a belt at the side of a busy road in the pooring rain in the dark in the middle of winter! Dayco offer a 3 year warranty with their belts, (how this could be proved if one broke i'm not sure!) I recommend changing a Dayco belt every 2 years or every 12 months if raced in MX / super moto etc. Its crucial not to over tighten them too as not only will that shorten the belts life but the wear on top pulleys in huge.. Touch wood i've never had one break and i rode with them for almost 24 years in the Army as an instructor, despatch rider and in 3 Stage Trials.

We should get pictures and markings of machines belts and put a sticky up, it'd be nice to have a reference as im sure many new owners will want to check what the last owner had in there.. Also welcome, and thanks for the base gasket and circlips the other week. |
