748rs Timing Belts

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Android853sp, Nov 25, 2014.

  1. Is anyone aware of a current alternative to the RS belt ? I have found a supply of genuine belts from Italy but at 60 euros each that is going to work out prohibitively expensive. I know the belts are 95 teeth but are only 20mm wide instead of the 22 mm on the R. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks, Andy.
     
  2. you wanted an rs............;)
     
  3. Try @nelly for uk supplied belts
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  4. 120 quid every couple of years aint a big deal really is it?
     
  5. How much are 749rs belts?
     
  6. Sadly like the 748R, belt changes will be every year. Had I set the rev limiter at 14000rpm, belt changes would have been after 600 kilometres. Andy
     
  7. I'll give Nelly a try. Andy
     
  8. You are right but it would have been nice just for one element of the build not to be a challenge. MR started work on swapping the engines today and I feel like I'm a kid again waiting to unwrap that present. The anticipation is making my mouth water :). Andy
     
  9. how much is this costing for what gain then?
     
  10. Cost ? What I can afford. Gain ? A big smile and probably soiled underpants :). Andy
     
  11. Found a set on t'internet for £133. Unfortunately a different part number to the 748. Andy
     
  12. Tried Rich at Louigi Moto?

  13. At current exchange rates 60 euros = £47-50 that makes them cheaper than standard 748 belts, don't see a problem with that.

  14. You are right Steve but when you compare the price new when readily available of £22, it's a hell of a jump. Andy
     
  15. Any chance of sharing your source in Italy with us??
    60 euros a belt sounds good to me...
