i am replacing my drive belt on my 05 suzuki vinson. not really sure what all this involves, does anyone have any experience. Thanks

 

well it was very easy to take off and we haven't put one back on yet...(my entire quad is in pieces) what kind of belt are you replacing it with? factory? aftermarket?

 

its easy for the most part. i did have a bit of a hard time getting the belt to seat into the pulley. i had to tap it in using a hammer handle. you my as well change you springs and weights wile your in there and clean it.

 

i bought the dayco hp belt. everything i read about them seemed to be good.

 

what do u mean by replacing the springs and weights? i'm not very mechanicly inclined and am curious about what all will need to be done. did u have to replace the gasket seal cover? a few people have recommended i do. thanks for your help

 

i didnt replace the seal, but i think its not a bad idea to change it. as far as springs and weights, thats what comes in a cluch kit.

 

hey macgiver, what kind of clutch kit did u put in your vinson?

 

i got the outlaw kit from highlifter

 

they told me i could have problems with altitude, and if i put a new pipe on that increased power. did you have any of these problems. They also said that I would need the 79 dollar tool to put this on. did you buy this, and if not how did you get yours on? thanks

 

as far as altitude i am 80 feet above sea level so no problem. i have the stock pipe. i didnt buy the 79 dollar tool, but it would have made the job easyer. i cant remember exactly how i did it, but i do remember i used a vice, a c-clamp and an extra set of hands.
