need info on how to do it.. do i remove the pully's???

 

yea then slide the belt off,slide the new one on the pullys and then bolt the pulley down WITH the belt on,then put the cover on and your done

 

I put a new belt on every year for 5 years and never removed the pullys. What you have to do is put the bike in neutral then slowly rotate the reear pully while pulling the belt over the edge of it. Work it around just like reseting the chain on a bike. Same for install.

 

I hope vrodpredator was just kidding.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Just do what Indslpwr04 replied! EASIEST way to do it. Good luck

 

aight thanks to all who reply'd... i did the same way as chain on the bike... the guy at the dealership said not to do it like that???dumbA**lol

 

He wasn't being a dumbass. It's possible to damage the belt that way. But it's easier than holding the driven pulley sheaves open and pulling the belt all the way down to the bottom to get enough slack to slide it off the drive pulley. I used to do it the right way, but now I do it the easy way like you guys.

 

Remove a pulley just to change a belt? LOL. Kinda like removing the wheel to add air to the tire.

Here is a Video of removing a belt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_HhKSY3Ro8

 

I found that getting it part way on and giving it just a little gas will put it on the rest of the way.
