Removing drive belt (Read 59 times)

och Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 629	Removing drive belt 10/12/22 at 23:39:50 Is there an easy way to remove the drive belt, without removing the rear tire? I don't even need it off completely, just off the front pulley so I can remove the front pulley to inspect the area of the stator cover where it leaks.

Remove the shock, and belt guard. But don't do anything until you get the pulley nut loose.

I'm thinking of using an impact gun to get the pulley nut loose.

Sorry for noob questions, but how do I slide the tire forward, do I need a lift for it? A lot of disassembly?

loosen the axle, back off the axle adjusters and it'll slide forward.
you might want to lift the back end, but you don't have to.

Don't know if it's more work, but I wanted to replace the LH cover gasket anyways and avoided fooling with the front pulley.

I thought the only way to get that belt off was pull the pulley,and that Is some drama if you don't have an impact. I've never had to pull the stator cover, so I don't really know just how much of a hassle it is. But that is at least an option.
