Timing Belts? Will Peugeot belts fit??
 

I've heard that Peugeot timing belts will fit my 1997, 748 BIP, if this IS this case does anyone have the correct Peugeot part numbers? Coz if they are the same belt they are ££££s cheaper!!!!!

Or have I been told wrong?

Many thanks

And the reason they are cheaper is ????
They are probably designed and rated to run at lower revs, follow a much less convoluted route when fitted with far greater radii around the pullies, they don't have to cope with the torque loadings caused by more rapid changes in engine speed found on bike engines.
My view - don't do it.
Then again, it's only my view......

Why not try some ribbed rubber bands from the London Rubber Company, they sell them in a pack of three so every third cam belt change is free!

Ducati parts, nuff said.


Have a nice day:smug:

LMAO are you for real mate :o

I doubt they will be kevlar for a start, and for an even bigger start I cant see them being much cheaper than 25-30 quid a pair, is it really worth risking thousands of pounds for the sake of saving a few bob :lol:

I think you`ll find the pitch on a Ducati belt is unique(they patented it to stop pattern belts being produced; correct me if I`m wrong KeefyB)made by Bates if my memory serves me correct.You`ll have to stick to cheap peugeot oil filters for now:D

Gates i think it is!!

Use the real thing if only for piece of mind.

No it's not Peugot belts. Those are crap. You want Volvo belts! :lol:

For god sake use the real thing it's a DUCATI Nothing but the best for the best.

:mad:

he he he! I bet you wish you never asked now :lol: I have to agree its not as if you have to change it every time you go out on it. so use the real thing.

Leave me out of this DJ
