Hondafan: i was a little worried when i first started doing this as i had only ever worked on cars
these bikes are nice and easy to figure out, had the whole belt drive out a few times already, no airtools at all
strap wrench is really the way to go. You'll have fun dig right in !

The actual size of the belt is 745 mm x 15 mm...I found one on eBay. I Worked on it today. I did the belt change, cleaned the grease out of the variator (there was a ton of grease),changed the rollers ( lots of flat spots on the ones I changed). I already changed to a 90 jet. My Aero is doing 45 mph easy on the flats and faster down hill. Thanks to everyone for the advice you guys are great!

I bet you are seeing 50mph down hill I am and I love it

Just about...it's the fastest I remember this scooter going... I really want to thank you for pointing me in the right direction I really appreciate it. Were you able to get a replacement belt for yours at the belt shop?

No luck on the belt yet, I'm just going to order one online I think. Unless the belt place can match one up, I just have to pull the belt and take it over.

interesting regarding the size
where did you get your numbers from ?

I found my numbers off a honda belt chart
converted them to mm and got 726

I wonder if it is inside or outside measure
guess we'll see how mine works when it gets here

I got the numbers from the Internet on a few belt charts... They were a few charts that stated the Aero 80's numbers and they all were the same. I also saw it hand written on a honda repair manual that I downloaded. The manual also states that a belt change is needed when the belt is at 13mm. I am interested as well to hear if the belt you purchased will work. Let us know. Thanks.

I found a different chart (still searching for it again)
that gave me the numbers in inches
converted i got 726x16x30
the chart you found (or similar) has
729 x 17.7 741 688 738

I wonder if the outside measure of 741
is the measure close to your 745 ?

if i can find that other chart, i'll post it

I will also look for the chart I saw and do the same. It is good info to get out there for Aero owners.

Here is another link I found that lists the belt size as 745mm x 15mm. I saw a few others as well. That seems to be the size I am seeing listed. This goes with the size that was written in the repair manual I downloaded.

I saw that too
i'm pretty sure i have the other one bookmarked at home
i'll post it when i get off work

the one i found had all the honda belt numbers and what they were in Inches

the chart i found was from Wikispreedia

http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?t ... _Reference

and was in mm not inches
but still shows 726 x 16 x 30

still no note of inside or outside
but we will see when it gets here

Those numbers are mm...it is slightly different not by much though. Let us know how it goes when you install that belt.

3/4 of an inch seemed high to me, but i would bet both will work
I'll post again when i put mine on

well, the one i got was a bit too short, or a bit too wide
one or the other would have been ok, but both made it no good
it fit, and ran, right up until you put a load on it
to snug to get any movment in it
aw well, now to find one closer to the other size !
