So is this right
Mk1 tmax ribbed on the inside
MK2 tmax ribbed on the inside and the outside
However the MK 2 belt will fit the MK1 tmax

Hi Clive. OK. OK. So I put wrote reply badly. I meant that the wear was only 50%
of the wear limits! Oh yes and the belts had ribs on both sides. So there.

Re: TMAX MK3 V BELT
Now my (fading) memory is that the belts for both mk1 and 2 (and 3) are ribbed on both sides - why, I've no idea!!Deeping wrote:So is this right

I bet that the belts on all Tmaxs are interchangeable, but Yamaha almost certainly have different part numbers - there is I think more than one belt even for the mk1 - but they look identical.

Re: TMAX MK3 V BELT
OEM Yamaha belts are ribbed both sides. I bought one of the ones below whilst waiting on delivery of an OE Yam belt. It lasted 300 miles. Still saved me money on train fares so I wasn't that bothered but 300 miles!!!
