Roykaw Drive & Starter Generator Belt Kit for Club Car DS and Precedent Golf Carts — Fits FE290/FE350, Replaces OEM 1016203 & 101916701

Roykaw drive belt and starter generator belt kit replaces OEM 1016203 and 101916701 to restore reliable power transmission on Club Car DS (1997 and up) and Precedent (2004 and up) golf carts.

If your Club Car uses an FE290 or FE350 motor, worn belts cause slipping, poor charging, and loss of drive performance. This Roykaw kit bundles a high-width drive belt and a narrower starter generator belt manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications so you can replace both critical belts at once. The kit is sized to match the lengths and widths commonly used across model years listed, and helps maintain smooth engagement and consistent charging without hunting for separate parts.

How do these belts restore my cart’s performance?

Replacing both the drive and starter generator belts removes stretch and cracking that create slipping or undercharging. New belts reestablish correct tension and contact on pulleys so the motor transfers torque efficiently and the generator spins reliably.

• Drive belt width: 1" and length approximately 37 2/5" — replaces 1016203
• Starter generator belt width: 0.34" and length approximately 34 2/5" — replaces 101916701
• Designed for FE290 and FE350 motors from 1997 to current
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM tolerances for fit and durability

Will these belts fit my Club Car DS or Precedent model?

The kit fits Club Car DS models from 1997 onward and Precedent models from 2004 onward that use FE290 or FE350 motors. Always verify your cart’s motor type and existing part numbers before ordering to ensure an exact match.

• Designed as direct replacements for part numbers 1016203 and 101916701
• Compatible with most FE290/FE350-equipped DS and Precedent carts
• Check pulley condition and alignment when installing new belts

What should I inspect and expect during installation?

When installing, inspect pulleys, bearings, and tensioners for wear or damage; replacing a belt onto worn hardware reduces lifespan and can cause immediate slipping. Proper routing and tension are essential—follow manufacturer torque and tension recommendations or consult a service manual.

• Examine pulleys for grooves, rust, or wobble before fitting belts
• Replace belts one at a time and set tension to factory spec
• If you see dry rot, cracking, or glazing on old belts, replace promptly

How long will these belts last and how often should I replace them?

Longevity depends on use, environment, and maintenance; belts typically last several seasons under normal recreational use. Inspect belts annually and replace immediately if you notice cracking, fraying, glazing, or slipping under load.

• Regular visual inspections reduce risk of sudden failure
• Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat
• Replace as soon as signs of dry rot or wear appear

Who is this kit for? This Roykaw belt kit is intended for Club Car owners, fleet managers, and service technicians who need OEM-equivalent drive and starter generator belts for DS (1997+) and Precedent (2004+) carts equipped with FE290 or FE350 motors. It’s ideal if you prefer swapping both belts at once to ensure matched condition and reliable performance, or if you maintain several carts and want a ready replacement set that meets OEM dimensions.
