1] Easy belt removal:
On my 3" Primo primary belt, I removed the edge of the front
pully and replaced it with a homemade edge that can be removed
by unscrewing 8 small screws, this way I can leave the front pully
on the engine while removing the belt
2] Easy adjustments:
Instead of searching for the correct wrench to rotate the engine,
I welded a
socket with 1/2" connection to the crankshaft nut. The removable
edge from tip 1] makes sure that the crank- shaft nut can not
vibrate loose.
Now I can easily rotate the engine to adjust ignition and/or valves!
3] Belt covers:
There are a lot of big, complicated and expensive beltcovers
for sale, actually the two places most likely to chew off a finger
or toe are the area's I marked with a hand, the belt cover I made
was
cut out of 1mm aluminum plate and works fine. Some of the belt
covers that are for sale lately stick out so far they will actually
decrease the lean angle of the bike, in the best case scraping
the ground and in the worst case causing you to crash....
4] Clutch:
I use a Competitor clutch with twice the number of friction plates
of a stock clutch. No longer available, although Bandit and Barnett
now make similar clutches. It is a noisy clutch but extremely
effective!
