MC-54 250 Belt size

[stormy]

Hi, have a question about where to get a spare belt on the Roketa MC-54 250. A couple of weeks ago I changed the rear end oil on my 250 and wrote down the number of the drive belt when I had the cover off. Oh buy the way, one off the big offering on this scooter is a Bando drive belt, mine sure done have it.
I found the number today, and was going to order a new spare belt for my scooter The belt size is 918-22.5, I don't know if the back number is 30 or not. I should of checked the thickness with the spare I have for the 150cc to see if it is 30.
I went on the internet to order, and all I found is that for a 250 size scooter with the 172MM 250 CFMOTO engine is 828-22.5-30, or the 871-23-30 for the Linhai engine.
Does any one know where I can get a belt in the size of 918-22.5-30 or one that will work on these scooters?, or is it just mine that is an odd ball size?
I know with the number of these scooters from Roketa that have been sold in the last few months, someone have to make these belts.
I even checked on Ebay for this size and they don"t have any listed either.

Was your belt a Gates. I just changed my gear oil and was surprised to see a top US brand name belt. Although the quality of most other parts except fuel lines and wiring/plugs/fuse box alos looked first rate. If your belt is a gates then check with your local NAPA parts store.

I've just been waiting for someone to give me the size. I should have them in stock in about a week or two. Stan

Yes the belt on my MC-54 is a Gates. I'am glad Stan is ordering these belts, I checked with my local NAPA parts store about ordering one and they said they can't get them. But it is no wonder, ever since the older guy retired about a year ago, the ones they have working there don't know anything. When I went into order the belt they ask if it was for a snowmobile, no I said it was for a scooter, the guy I was talking too said gates don't make belts for scooters. I told him the one on my scooter now is a gates and the spare I got for my 150 cc is a gates. Him and another saleman looked in there books for about 5 minutes, then told me it must be a knock off from China that is using the gates name, because gates don't make scooter belts.

So I'll wait until Stan gets them , then order from him.
