so i went for my 1st long ride on my new to me 1999 elite s. it ran nice, top speed at 30mph, plenty of pep from a slow speed to top speed. so my question is that on 3 occasions when i did not come to a complete stop and then quicly sreed off it seamed to not do anything, the motor seamed to rev up and the bike not go forward and then it just seamed to work again, their was a slight jolt and it felt like it was all better. this only happend for a split second and the rest of the ride was great.
the bike has 6500 miles on it and i have no idea what condition the belt.
any ideas ?

Re: question on a weird thing my scooter did
first thing Id do is check the belt and see what condition its in. it says in the manual the specs for it. then id have a look at the clutch and see what it looks like. how many miles are on the bike? could be time for a new belt and clutch depending on the shape of them.

Yeah, as Rip said there's no way to tell without pulling the belt cover. The answer will be revealed.
