84' Melody Drivebelt dimensions question, maximum confusion
Posted: Thu May 11, 2023 3:02 am
Hello everyone,
I've recently purchased an 84' Melody Deluxe (NB50 (E)) and plan a sorta long trip with a friend. Now I'm trying to get some maintanance done. The engine code is AB07E. Ive used the forum search function but I'm still not quite sure what the correct dimensions of the main drive belt are. Certainly it seems like there are no oem belts anymore and third partys are the way to go...no issue but id like to buy something of higher quality. Even the original mechanic shop book doesn't tell me. Over at cms, it seems like 23100GE8004 is the right part number, however this also corresponds to the Aero 80, which seems to have different dimensions again then what my searches come up with, the size being 745x15. Some japanese website says 651 x 14,0 mm is correct.
Even tho I own a buncha Hondas, I have never changed the belt yet, which is hopefully gonna change.
So what dimensions are the right ones, for an 84' Melody or Aero 50 / NB50 (E) ? I have purchased a belt from Mokix which seems to be of ok quality, with the size being 667x15,9 mm and originally designed for suzuki. With the searches I come up with all sorts of different answers. 669 x 14 / x 16 etc. 651 x 14 ? The length differences have me confused.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Have a good one!
