So the pulley was picked up today from the machinist, there is a issue with not having enough teeth to get the lock washer to rest on the transmission shaft, He said he will fix that tommorrow for me.

I did have to slide the rear axel out to be able to get the belt over the rear pulley.

Adjusting the belt tension all the way out and moving the axel forward all the way it would ( its actually like 1/16 in past the forward most mark on each side.... is that bad could be bad for bearings? )

Anyway while it was up on stand strapped down, tension proper on belt and rear wheel alligned I throttled her up to see if there was any wobble in the belt and wheel and there is none in either.

Put on and removed for more grinding of the pulley cover, got all the grinding gone from that, throw on the belt guard, and final time for the pulley cover.

Last thing to tighten down before a quick test run ( was only going around the block do not want to go further without the lock washer ) the lower nut and bolt holding the left rear spring and belt guard in place.

So anyone have a spare to sell or is the right side the same lenght as the left that I could take it to match at Fastenal or Lowes.

Sometimes it is just easier/faster to get a new part from the dealer.

Do you have a dealer nearby...the bolt is listed as $ 7.94 and the nut at $ 1.94.  If you got them to order it for you it would most likely be there next week.

You could order online - but most of those online dealer don't have parts in stock and order them from a warehouse....so it would take just as long as ordering form a dealer.

Out of curiosity -- what year and model pulley specifically? I'm having trouble with mine and want to document specifically what is known to work. Mine was listed as a 1986 EN450 p/n 13144-1115.

So bike is finally back together, bolt replaced with one to ride with for now. And I have to say the gear change is very noticeable. I also did fine tuning of the idle while it was on stand brining it to 10mph with clutch out in first and no throttle.

I can ride it under load ( 160lbs of me ) in first and second without giving any throttle and clutch all the way released.

Dont know if the gear change had anything to do with it, but the bike is not backfireing on roll out either now, ( i do a cleaning of the air filter too )

Rode past a spot where I new there was a speed reader indcator for a high traffic area, 50 mph on speedo and the laser was telling me 54mph.

I'm jealous!  

I tried forever to get rid of the belt noise on mine and just gave up. I tried "too tight" to "too loose" on the belt with no success.  Congrats on the mod! From what I hear, you'll love it on the highway!

sure can will b a couple days though

Kris I have 3 short videos of the bike on the lift but no idea how to post it here....  send me a email or a pm with your email I can send some videos to you

I've played with my pulley so often I've grown tired of pulling it on and off. Maybe I'll try again when riding season comes to an end and I have one of those days I have to bond with my bike!  

Mine is not nearly that quiet.

Thanks for the vids! It gives me hope!
