DON'T FORGET to re set you belt warning switch if its been tripped, its on the inside of the cvt cover, easy to find.
MAKE SURE you get a OEM belt or better, I've made the mistake of getting one of those cheap ones off the net, lasted maybe 50km.
Your CVT cover has maybe 7 or so bolts to take off, if you've burnt your old belt, take the time to clean your clutch spools, disk break cleaner works well.
It shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour and a belt should only cost you $110
agreed. i got 7400km on mine now and so far put on 3 belts with no special tools, just man handled it on there. just think, people have to be able to do it on the side of the trail if need be so i suggest getting familiar on how to change it. also the only extra tools i pack is a ratchet with a 6 inch extension and number ten ?? or maybe 12?? socket to remove the cvt cover bolts. also have a paper to remind me on how to disable the gimpy mode it goes into incase the belt failure switch gets trigured!
