I heard that hondas 2005 atv will be belt drive did anyone else hear this rumor.

 

I would have to say that I doubt it, but it's possible. So far, Honda really prides itself on having no belt-drive models. Where did you hear this and for what models?

 

what will be belt drive? as in a chain replacement like a harley?

 

I no a guy who owns a rubicon and he was gonna trade it in and when he went to trade he asked about the 2005 and the guy at the honda shop told him they got a 4x4 bike coming out and its gonna be awesome he never said what size but he said there running belt drive.

Why would honda stop making stuff with technological advances in it and throw in a belt drive? Anywho nobodys knowsanyhting until honda officially releases it. I work at a hondadealer...i could say yea honda is making a 650 ex and somebody would believe it.

 

Say wha? Anybody got any evidence to back that up?

 

belt driven...ok thats not even close to being as durable to shaft and cahin....lol or is it? i mean belt is only really on chopers and harleys but thats b/c they dont go threw mud sand rocky terrain and othere weather realedted stuff. i think that they would deff keep going with there shaft and chain and never use a belt. doesnt belt also slip too?

 

They are talking about a belt in the tranny not the final drive. But honda would enver use a belt tranny to unreliable and ineffecient compared to there hondamatic.
