CHECKING
Use the Drive Belt Gauge to identify any abnormal wear.
Measure across the top of the V-belt (in multiple loca-
tions) using a Vernier caliper. Do not squeeze the belt as
doing so may produce an inaccurate measurement. The
V-belt must be at least 28.5 mm (500) or 35.0 mm
(550/700) at any point.
INSTALLING
1. Place the V-belt into position on the driven pulley
and over the front shaft.


NOTE: The arrows on the V-belt should point in
direction of engine rotation (forward).
2. Pinch the V-belt together near its center and slide the
spacer and movable drive face onto the front shaft.
Secure the drive face with a washer and nut (coated
with red Loctite #271). Using an appropriate spanner
wrench, tighten the nut to 147 ft-lb (500) or 162 ft-lb
(550/700).


NOTE: At this point, the cap screw can be removed
from the driven pulley.
3. With the vehicle in neutral, rotate the V-belt and
clutches counterclockwise until the V-belt is flush
with the top of the driven pulley.
4. Place the CVT cover gasket into position; then install
the cover and secure with the cap screws. Tighten the
cap screws to 45 in.-lb.
5. Install the right-side footrest and brake pedal (see
Steering/Body/Controls). Tighten the pedal cap
screw to 25 ft-lb.
6. Secure the front fender to the footrest with the three
cap screws. Tighten securely.
CAUTION
Make sure the movable drive face plate is fully engaged
onto the splines of the clutch shaft before tightening the
nut or false torque readings may occur. This will cause
the assembly to loosen damaging the shaft and clutch
face plate.
