ALTERNATOR BELT (BELT)
Tools Required: Two 3/4 inch wrenches, 1/2 inch wrench, long-nose pliers, two Standard screwdrivers, E-ring tool,
center punch, light hammer, belt-tension gauge.
STEP 1
Remove the HOUSING. Refer to “How To...” in this section.
STEP 2
Remove the DRIVE BELT. Refer to “How to...” in
this section.
STEP 3
Using a 1/2 inch wrench, loosen the ALTERNATOR
ADJUSTMENT BOLT.
STEP 4
Using two 3/4 inch wrenches, loosen the
ALTERNATOR PIVOT BOLT and LOCKNUT.
STEP 5
Push the ALTERNATOR forward to relieve the belt
tension, then loop the BELT around the small
FLYWHEEL SHAFT. Once the BELT is free,
temporarily set it on top of the PULLEY to keep it
out of the way.
STEP 6
With a Standard screwdriver, remove the three screws holding the SPROCKET DUST COVER in place. Guide the
SPROCKET DUST COVER off the CRANKARM.
STEP 7
Remove the three FLAT INNER E-RINGS and the BENT OUTER E-RING. Use either two screwdrivers, long-nose
pliers, or an E-Ring tool.
CAUTION! THE E-RINGS ARE UNDER LOAD. PLEASE REMOVE THEM SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
STEP 8
From the BELT side, use a center punch and a small hammer to tap out the SHAFT from the PULLEY BRACKET.
STEP 9
Pull the PULLEY forward and out of the bike frame. Remove the WORN BELT and replace.
STEP 10
Reverse this procedure for reassembly using the specified torque, however, note the following:
NOTE: THE ALTERNATOR BELT MUST BE PROPERLY POSITIONED ON THE LARGE PULLEY AND
ALTERNATOR FLYWHEEL. MISALIGNMENT WILL RUIN THE BELT AND PULLEY.
NOTE: USING A BELT TENSION GAUGE, MEASURE THE BELT TENSION. IF THE BELT TENSION
MEASURES LESS THAN 60-70 LBS., MAKE ADJUSTMENTS USING
THE ALTERNATOR ADJUSTMENT BOLT.
