That indeed is a part number for a belt! It looks to be the new 09 belt. I think I will have to get one now |

I just spoke with my local parts guys and he confirmed that g0500.1akd has been superseded by g0500.1ake and that the backorder date (as others have shared) is 8/11. |

Hi Ken! GO500AKE is indeed the new belt's number. I have my new one in front of me. It was on back order for three weeks, so if you will be needing one ya have to order early! If yours is broke you can use mine and replace it with a new order, just let me know. |

Vern Thanks for the offer! Belt still ok-ish. I am in need of a new rear tire and was going to change belts ....for no good reason other than having a spare (and stirring up an argument as to which to carry). I've noticed some fraying along the edges and been feeling a little more 'lash' of late...but that could just be paranoia. Hey, you coming up in a couple of weeks? Ken |

Hey, you coming up in a couple of weeks? Mebby I am. I'm trying to make it happen. I'm gonna go ahead and install that new belt this weekend. I will be carrying the old one as a spare. |

My 2 cents on the new belt: Install the new one in the comfort of your well equipped and assistant-handy garage. Carry the old one as a spare. After struggling mightily with the new belt I was very glad I wasn't trying to do it on the road! |
