Because just tightening the nut to spec won't cause the belt to slide outward on the variator and into the clutch pulley. Doing it the way he did in the video does this a little bit each time until the nut can be correctly tightened.
your suppost to pull the clutch pulley so the belt rides deep on the rear pulley then it will be high on the variator pulley allowing the bolt to tighten flush with a torque wrench
It's just the opposite of that, that's why I keep tightening the bolt each time I start it. Think of it like a bicycle, when your going faster you switch gears and the chain moves to a smaller gear in the rear, and the bigger one in the front.
David has it right if you separate the rear pulley by pulling the belt into it then it won't be down the bottom of the front pulley while you torque it up. Your way works as well it just seems harder than it needs to be
Also, there are some pin bearings on the clutch where is slides on. Does the clutch just slide off? I don't see any end bolt holding it in place. Is it not just held in place by the cover plate?
I just replaced my belt and as I was attempting to line up the holes for the "tool" so I could tighten it. I noticed it kept kind of sticking at the same point in the rotation. Is that just the kink in the new belt or do I need to look further. When I use the throttle everything seems to be working smoothly.
You basically need to get the variator to open so the belt moves to the inner part of it, and tighten the variator bolt each time you squeeze the belt, or briefly start the engine. If you don't get it bolt all the way tightened it can come off.
Great shown how to NOT mount the new belt. Starting the mothor with not tighten disc? I was just waiting to see the flying parts... Using the impact key to smash the belt was just perfect way to destroy it. It's enogh to turn it by hands and then slowly tight the bolt -SAFETY FIRST.
Of course turning by hand is better, annd safer. About regulation of impact gun, there sholud be additional power regulation, not only the pressure. Anyway for me it's too strong to use it until disc reach it's position. Torque wrench is absolutely "must be" :)
The blue lights are just waterproof LED lights. I got them off Amazon it came in a 16foot roll, so you just cut it and solder the wires to it and either run it to a switch or just have them connected to a switched power source.
Could you not have just locked the rear brake by wrapping some rope around the brake lever, and then torquing the variator bolt that way, instead of making some special tool?
@@VStromGarage Ah, ok. I'm thinking about buying a used silver wing, so just wondering about some the the maintenance specifics. Surprised the torque on that nut is only 75, being such a powerful scooter and all.
For the belt I always go with Honda, not sure who has the best prices online anymore, it's been a while. The rest of it I just get quality brands.@@TheRealistPhilosopher
I think so, I don't have that bike anymore so I can't confirm, but I know that some people take the bulb out so they don't accidently leave the light on and drain the battery.
@@VStromGarage There is a switch for that trunk light which you can hear when you push the seat down really slow you can hear a clicking which is the switch. Even you have the light installed it will only light up when the seat is unlocked but when you lock it, the light will go off as the switch cuts off the power to the light so you don't actually have a manual switch, everything is done by closing the seat. So you don't really need to take out the bulb.
@@golf1diesel if it is taken care of, they are pretty reliable, I've seen some with over 100k miles. With 16k miles, if they haven't replaced the belt, it is time.
I'm show one way of installing the belt. I had some nerve damage and lost strength in my grip, and wasn't able to squeeze the belt like I would normally do.
Sbagliato: prima di smontare si stringe la cinghia per far allargare il variatore e si mette uno spessore nel variatore in modo che la nuova cinghia scenda in basso nel variatore aperto, poi si rimota il piatto della trasmissione che si stringe facilmente. A questo punto si toglie lo spessore dal variatore e la cinghia gira libera senza che sia danneggiata dai trascinamenti a vuoto (inutili).
hey my fellow Silverwing riders, i need to replace my rear tire on my 2007 Silverwing I need to learn how to do it myself along with other repairs to it, I need a video to help me along can someone post a video on how to remove the back tire on a 2007 silverwing...........pretty please
There's nothing a mechanic would have done differently except charge you. The slack on the belt is normal, as the front and rear pulleys are constantly changing ratio.
@@stephencutajar2548 . lol. professional mechanic? Do you mean the children that work as "mechanics" at a dealership that you pay a premium for and they earn barely over minimum wage....those professionals?
I keep hearing about CVT horror stories about the Suzuki Burgman. I'm going to stay away from buying one. I will being getting a silver wing or a Yamaha.
i owned almost 2 years a 2008 burgman 650... that was a totally bad times, cvt is nightmare... repair costs 1200euros, and after 1100km again start a strange noises from cvt :( . about month ago i sell this scooter. if that scooter does not having a CEVT, it is problably a best scooter ever...
As a Yamaha Majesty 400 owner I urge you to stay away from the Yamaha. Doing ANYTHING from changing a belt to changing the oil, to checking the oil lever to checking the tire pressure is a nightmare of difficult to reach and/or removing Tupperware.
I cant beleive how easy this is,Thank you for the video.
Excellent and informative video. Will save a lot of time. Thank you so much!
Cranking the engine and tightening the bolt each time is a cool tip. Thanks!
Bryant Chandler Why is that needed? To make sure the belt sit correctly into place?
Because just tightening the nut to spec won't cause the belt to slide outward on the variator and into the clutch pulley. Doing it the way he did in the video does this a little bit each time until the nut can be correctly tightened.
Thank U from France, very simple an good idea for the wooden tool. I will make the same.

Ah ok. 24 mm nut holds on the clutch. Any idea the Torque for that?
I own a 2003 bought it new it has 21000 miles on it and I’ve never changed the belt I still ride it and I know it gonna need it sometime
Also, there are some pin bearings on the clutch where is slides on. Does the clutch just slide off? I don't see any end bolt holding it in place. Is it not just held in place by the cover plate?
There's a 22mm nut that you have to take off to remove the driven pulley. If you watch my other video on the silver wing you will see it.
You can tighten the nut with a socket and ratchet, as the nut gets tighter the cones will pull together as it turns...
Thank you for the tutorial 👍🏼🍻😇
Hi, did you have a couple of bolt spacers on any of the covers? I just replaced my belt and had a couple of them on the ground. Thanks.
I believe there was a couple of locating pins on the cover
where do you get parts for this bike to purchase?
I got them at a Honda dealer on-line, can't remember which one.

I have suzuki skywave 250cc type 4 what size is the v belt
I have no idea, sorry.
I too can't believe how easy it is -- and what an absolute nightmare it is to do on my Yamaha Majesty 400.
Great and instructional video. Enjoyed it. As I see... it is also possible to do everything without the air pistol? Am I right? Got my like here.

are you from lenawee county michigan? thanks alot for the how to on the belt change, you just saved me a couple hundred bucks

It can still slip a little.

bury the belt in the rear pully makes it easier to get proper alignment for torquing the front pulley
Nice video. Thanks.
Nice video. Question:is there a switch on the trunk light?

If you are unsure whether the light switch is working or not, put your phone on video and place inside the trunk.

Cool video thanks
I need a belt of sliverwing
what mileage does this need to be done at?
I believe it's at 16,000 miles
Good deal, and yes they are very good machines
If you tighten to specs why hell are you turning it over?
I'm show one way of installing the belt. I had some nerve damage and lost strength in my grip, and wasn't able to squeeze the belt like I would normally do.

Not Wrong, just a different way of doing it.

Thank you good Job!!

what seems to be the problem?

this is why I paid a professional mechanics to do the job sure seems like there is a lot of slack in that belt when you rev It Up
