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 at any point.
INSTALLING
1. If removed, place the gasket and two alignment pins
into position on the crankcase.
2. Spread the faces of the driven clutch with a suitable
pry bar or wedge; then when the faces are separated,
insert the drive belt.

 NOTE: If the drive belt has an arrow stamped on
the outer face, it should point forward (direction of
rotation).
3. Pinch the drive belt together near its center and slide
the stationary drive sheave over the crankshaft.
Install the kick starter ratchet ensuring the splines are
engaged. Secure the stationary drive sheave with a
nut (threads coated with red Loctite #271). Tighten
the nut to 27.5 ft-lb.
