I called Metro Motorsports in Glendale and they are gonna do the job while I wait for $125. At that price I can't pass it up. Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate the input!   Logged     Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294259 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1469 Re:Changing final drive belt, special tools? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   moespeeds wrote: I was assuming those silver spacers I see in there could come out, so I could just pull the pivot axle part of the way, tap out the spacer and slip the belt through, but it looks like I can't just pull that spacer out.

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate the input! mate, don´t spend that money except on beer! just knock the swingarm axle through and drop the swingarm. it´s a piece of piss! don´t try and knock the spacers out don´t disconnect the shock and it makes it even easier to get back in and lined up. honest mate, 45 min job, tops.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/07/08 15:54 By erizo.   be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294297 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Changing final drive belt, special tools? 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Good to know erizo I have to put a new belt on my 05. The dealership cut my old belt off when I crashed the bike. The bike wouldn't roll so they cut it off they never thought to check the tire hitting the smashed up fender and to air the shock back up to clear the fender....
