RSTech Belt Drive Kit V2, INT/GT 650 – Standard Gearing

A high-quality belt drive conversion kit for the Royal Enfield Interceptor and Continental 650
Twins, consisting of a Gates Poly Chain Carbon GT belt, with both front and rear pullies.
Zero maintenance belt drives have been readily available on production motorcycles since
1981.  Quiet, smooth, no more adjustment issues, no more oily mess, no carrying chain lube on
a trip, lighter, and lower long-term cost due to extended belt and pulley life when compared to
a chain drive.
This the standard gearing version.
The belt is the latest Generation, 14mm pitch, high torque, Gates Poly Chain Carbon GT, and
included in the kit.  This is the same belt used by major motorcycle manufacturers in their OEM
belt drive models.  RSTech does not use the OEM only 11mm pitch, medium torque belt, and
employs a common Gates industrial part, that is readily available from Gates Dealers
worldwide.
Rather than a heavy, cheap casting, the rear pulley is engineered to be lightweight, and fully
CNC machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, and is then Type III hard anodized in
satin black.  This results in a durable wear coating with a hardness in the mid 50’s Rockwell C
and in the same range as high tensile steel.
The front pulley is CNC machined from a billet of high tensile steel, then heat treated both for
both tooth wear resistance, and durability on the spline drive.  Finished by black zinc plating
for tooth wear, and corrosion resistance.
Weight is critical for motorcycle performance and handling – moreso when that weight is an
unsprung, rotating mass on the wheel. The lightweight rear pulley is not only a beautifully
machined part that you will be proud to have on your bike, but results in a total system weight
that is 450 g less than the stock chain drive.
