Title: Belt adjustment checking tool
Post by B.J. or Jo on 04/06/13 at 12:22:49

When we bought our 2009 S40 from the PO, she didn't have the "tool kit. After seeing what's in the tool kit I made up one of my own BUT, can I order the little tool to check the rear drive belt from Suzuki or elsewhere?? Thanks! :)

you don't need that stinking tool.

use the ss.com method

grip it with your hand and twist. 90° and it's good.

Yep, I buy from them all the time.

There's a post somewhere here abouts that tells you how to do it with just your thumb and forefinger. No special tool needed.

All belt considerations are different for RYCA bikes. The "tool" is N/A.

Haven't used mine in years, I use the thumb and finger method. In fact, pretty sure Hoggryder and I were the ones who convinced the old board to do the belt that way... Lot's of years of Harley ownership between us at that point.

If you really want the stock tool, I'll try to find/dig mine out and mail it to you. Shoot me a pm.

BJ,

Good words, above.....

My personal experience is that the belt tension hardly ever needs to be messed with, anyway. I've got over 12,000 miles on mine (see my signature block) and the belt's needed adjusting maybe twice.....
