Best way to tighten the belt, is to use a ratcheting tie-down strap, to strap the rear wheel against a post...

Our belt is not made by Suzuki... Shocked

...
It's an industrial belt...
Made by Bando... They have production and distribution in north and south America,...

Savage belt spec
Bando 133U 14M 40.0

I guess that means 133 teeth, 14mm pitch and 40mm wide

Because of you location,... you may want to swap to a chain drive...

Thomas, plenty of guys have converted their bikes to chain and sprockets for various reasons. On this forum, the section called Marketplace, sometimes has left over belts for sale. You could advertise there that you want to buy (WTB) a drive belt. Also Ebay occasionally has one, at least here in the US. They aren't very heavy so the shipping might not be prohibitive. A bike parts place here in the US often sells used but still good parts, it is called Pinwall and they have an Ebay store. Good luck.

Thanks for your tips, I found a new, unused belt today for a reasonable price
