Since I had 5000 miles on my 2011 Ruckus I decided it would be a good preventive to have the belt replaced which I did when I visited the Honda dealer. When I got the bike back however I noticed that my ruckus is not running the way it was before the new belt was installed. I notice lack of power and it took a lot of effort to get speeds of 30mph.It doesn't have the pickup after installation of the new belt. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this problem. Could the belt cause lack of power?Thanks for your comments.

You'll likely notice it gets better once the belt is properly broken in. As the belt wears it will sit lower in the groove and stretch a bit which will effectively lower the gear ratio leading to a quicker pickup and higher top speed (if the engine can keep up) sounds like the new belt is still pretty tight and slippery which is causing you grief. Give it time!
