question about str8 gear casing for aerox

hello all just a quick question
im looking at getting a extreme cutout str8 gear casing for my aerox its the gearbox casing with cutouts alll over it allow better cooling .

the question is if i ride my bike and it rains does it matter if water gets in the casing ? and dust ? i normally dont ride in the rain u drive my car but yeh

 

could result in the belt slipping if water gets onto the pulleys, cant see why it would be a problem in the summer though mate. just keep the standard cover for when the weathers not so good

 

how would water get into the pullys its ipossable

 

i mean onto the belt and variator/clutch

 

but how is that possiable ...as you have the drive face and the pully protecting the belt from water and how can water get into the holes ...maybe a few drops but tht wont effect it at all

 

well thats what i was also thinking in summer when it rains use standard one in winter use the one with cutouts but i dont think they would sell them if couldnt use them al year tru

 

have you seen the str8 cut outs? more than just a few holes they have large slits on the underside etc water from the road will get into it no problem atall

no im pretty sure it would be ok as...the water would not be able to wet the pullys and drive face plus it will dry almost imeidatly if it does ..cos of the speed of the belt spinning plus the heat

 

suppose so, just wouldnt like to risk riding about with a slipping belt if the worst happens

 

im sure they would have to be safe or be able to be used all year or no one would buy them

 

they only way you will really find out for definite is to buy one and try it, were going to have some good and bad weather over the next few weeks so you could review it for others to see?

 

i wanted to find out as much as i could before i buy it cause its costing me about $120 by time it gets posted here to australia and in australian money suks hey

 

bit pricey by the time youve recieved it, as roxy boy stated it should be fine but im a bit funny about things like these, always expecting the worst

 

if wort comes to worst just use it in winter and in summer when rains use original one
