An advantage of a flat belt drive would be a smoother, quieter operation. A disadvantage to a flat belt drive would be slippage since flat belts are designed to cover a longer distance between pulleys.

What are the advantages of v belt drive over flat belt drive?

There are a number of factors that would affect the answer to this question including torque, shaft speeds, load etc. This is why there are many methods of delivering force to remote locations (worm, belt, chain). I believe some of the advantages when working with belts are - reduced friction losses as the belt has more contact area - decreased energy loss through vibration (in effect a belt has vibration dampening) - belt breakage usually seperates the drive system causing little damge or danger unlike chain If someone can answer the physics side of this I would be most appreciative as most of these answers come from car knowlege (see variable belt drive vs. timing chain).

What are the uses of a belt drive?

A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.

How do you replace a drive belt on a 2005 Yamaha kodiak 450?

To replace the drive belt on a 2005 Yamaha Kodiak 450, first, ensure the ATV is on a flat surface and secure it. Remove the seat and side panels for access, then detach the belt cover by unscrewing the bolts. Slide off the old drive belt from the primary and secondary clutch sheaves, and install the new belt, ensuring it fits properly in the grooves. Finally, reassemble the cover and panels, and test the ATV to ensure the belt operates smoothly.
