Well riding down to road minding my own business then no power I am changing gears gassing buddy pulls up beside me says my drive belt is laying back there.
So 2005 Banshee (5r116828-01) any help appreciated bad thing only 6000 miles
RIVERA/PRIMO DRIVE BELT 1.5″ X 130 TOOTH – PN# 1820-14M-36.83
I’ve broken a couple… only one when I was getting on it the other just split.
I want to do it myself not willing to trust just anyone wrenching on it. Only thing is the clutch,, is that special to remove and replace, I do NOT want a Jack-in-the-box effect
Any videos around? I looked on Rivera site but not sure my transmission type
The belt is a gates found it at JP $170
To change the belt you will need to disassemble the entire drive line and get it put back together and properly re-torqued (the most critical is the front pully nut needs to be red Loctited and torqued to 160 ft lbs.)
Jack the rear of the bike up, and put some 2x4s under the tire to hold it up. Remove the outer primary, remove the clutch and front pulley (worst part of the job), remove the inner primary, remove the axle covers, remove the axle adjuster jamb nuts, loosen the axle adjuster screws (to release the axle), remove the axle bolt, tap the axle out to release the wheel, remove the 2x4s to drop the wheel. Install the belt and put it all back together.
Google “replace HD softtail final drive belt”. It’s a real project.
