I don't know if you noticed, gaffa, but there are bulletins out for two of the problems you described (came out Thursday).

For ripped transfer belts they recommend repositioning the felt seals on the bottom of the transfer belt inward ~5mm. They are offering the seals separately, because they probably won't survive being peeled off. In the cases I've seen, the ripping had nothing to do with the seals. The inner rubber rib peeled off, and got entangled inside the belt. Each time the lump came around it would shave down the belt in that area.

The other issue is the developer and cleaning motor failures. Apparently a resistor is burning up on the motor driver board. The updated motor has a 350 ohm resistor instead of a 250 ohm resistor. Amazingly I haven't seen any of these. Lucky me.

You know every new release is like this. We forget, but it is. There are a bunch of updates and modified parts. The manufactured bumps the model # up a few notches, then the 251/ 301/ 401/ 501 runs a whole lot better. Is this really news?

hear all that blackcat but lets not kid ourselves about these machines. when these things are designed by whoever [and believe me i would like to meet some of these designers and shake them gently by the bo....ks]they are supposedly designed to be the best,if not then why put your name on it? with the disasterous voyager still out there eating fusers transfer belts and dev and drum units to epidemic proportions why oh why be allowed to do it again with what essentially is a black voyager? after 25 years fixing copiers i understand the japanese mantra of if there isnt a solution there isnt a problem comeback but come on.dont get me wrong we have an excellent km tech but like everyone else in this business he probably wont get the true story from under the corporate veil.although always glad of the work i dont expect the majority of it to be on the latest and greatest machines and unfortunately neither do our customers. sorry to sound so negative but hey thats how this great industry gets you sometimes.

I agree with everything here.
I was just talking to the hotline on
one of these Black Voyagers about the Developer motors and they said they had not had any reports of bad motors , This was the same day the bulletin comes out.
