Can anyone say if CVT OE foam filter is to be Dry or Oiled ?

This sort of information is in your manual..

Good point.
Piaggio X9 scheduled belt changes 6000 miles (ouch).
Look at their ventilation.

This belt in running enclosed and gets pinched by variator - that would be heating up pretty good, so air has to flow thru for max longevity.

Your 2006 is appreciably more "ventilated" than later models. Cannot think why Suzuki would change that, but they did!

And if you look at some of the "competition" you find that they (Kawasaki (AKA Kymco), Sym, look very, very, similar), Why?

Peugeot, like Piaggio, seem to like the more open look. THEIR belt change interval - 6000 miles.

Despite all "our" moaning, our Burgmans (400s) seem to have one of the longer belt service lives (14500 miles+) among mid range scooters - with the "as designed" engineering.

"THE" bluestrom.

Somebody here was saying,... the Burgman has the longest Factory belt interval at 14,500 miles

Don't think they did....What "somebody" said was...

Despite all "our" moaning, our Burgmans (400s) seem to have one of the longer belt service lives (14500 miles+) among mid range scooters - with the "as designed" engineering.

And I had a Majesty too (A 250cc). IT required a CVT rebuild at less than 10K and 2 years old, tho' that came under warranty.
Sadly, VERY little is perfect in this world.
