Review verified fitments below: Brand \/ Platform Compatible Applications (Short-Case \/ 10\" Rear Wheel) Genuine Scooter Co. Buddy 125, Buddy 150, Buddy 170i, Go-Karts \/ ATVs \/ Buggies Select compact youth buggies, go-karts, and ATVs utilizing short-case GY6 125cc\/150cc (152QMI\/157QMJ) engine configurations. ? CRITICAL FITMENT CHECK: This belt is strictly for short-case engines with a 10-inch rear wheel. If your 125cc\/150cc scooter or vehicle is equipped with a 12-inch or 13-inch rear wheel, you have a long-case configuration and require a longer belt (typically an 835-20-30 or 842-20-30). This belt will not fit standard 50cc (139QMB) setups. Always verify the size stamped on your old belt before ordering. Mechanic's Installation Tip: When installing a new CVT belt, meticulously inspect your variator sliders, roller weights, and clutch pulleys for wear. Use an aerosol brake cleaner to thoroughly clear out all old, abrasive belt dust and debris from the transmission housing cavity. Never use screwdrivers, tire irons, or pry bars to force a new belt over the pulley faces, as this will tear the internal high-tensile reinforcement cords. Instead, compress the rear torque driver sheave entirely by hand against the spring to create the slack needed to slide the belt onto the boss smoothly and safely.
