    My friend who owns Scorch exhausts said he can help me, so I will be limping over there tomorrow.

    Went to have a proper look and the stud did in fact break off..😩 Never stops!

    Belt on - along with some choice words! Adjusted clutch, re-aligned everything that twisted in the accident. Then I noticed this: Anybody know what size stud goes in there? Thanx!

    Got my 2 gold necklaces today. With our crap exchange rate and brilliant customs dept, the 2 drive belts I ordered might just as well have been made out of gold! Ordered them from St Pauls Harley in MN and their pricing and service was great! Arrived within 1 week! Quicker than ordering from...

    It makes complete sense, I just thought there might be hassles with extra stresses brought on from off-road riding. Keeping a content-ish pressure on the belt will be good. I will consider that in the next few months. 2 belts for now. Hopefully our exchange rate has stabilised by then! Zuma...

    Great advice Chi! Actually in the process of ordering 2 belts. Would never have thought of stretching one a bit and then swapping. We did a swap on the side of this trip to see if a HD belt will work –*not that tricky. I have the Buell toolkit and some extra stuff I ride with. Tell me, I know...

    Who says the XT can't play DIRTY?!

    For sure, but over here they are like piles/haemorrhoids – every @sshole has one. :)

    Chickn, the gasket arrived today - thank so much! I will send you a PM shortly! I just want to post an update. I do it hesitantly as most guys (including myself) don't like/want praises sung, but Chickn helped me out big time! He not only shipped me a clutch cover gasket without wanting money...

    Who says the XT can't play DIRTY?!

    I changed my XT mudguard to the X and I am going to do some suspension mods later to get ride hight closer to X's. My buddies want me to get a GS, but the reason I bought the Uly, was because I didn't want the stuff everybody else rides. The Uly struggles on rocky roads, but keeps up with...

    Went to look at the bike today and it really is surprising that there isn't more damage! Looks like clutch perch plus mirror, new heated grips, shifter boot rubber thingy and left pannier. Driver fell asleep, jack knifed the truck and trailer, as trailer swung around it clipped edge of the...

    I'm sure they have. They are a well known bike transport business. My brother's brokerage handles our insurance and he is going to drive the whole thing. It'll be OK. ��

    Story goes from bad to worse... Bike transport company notified me today that their vehicle was involved in an accident last night and my bike got some damage on the left. Pannier trashed, mirror, etc. Unsure of the extent of the damage,but I will go check tomorrow. :upset:

    Thanx guys! Thanx for the offer Chickn! The belt had about 43 000km on. I always checked for visible cracks on the outside, but didn't notice the inner tooth sections so well! We were planning some proper riding -2 long days of off-road in Baviaanskloof. I bought the Heidenau for a few...

    Left for adventure riding weekend with a buddy. Left at about 4pm last night, got early start this morning. We had just filled up, had quick coffee and hit the dirt road. About 10km in I lost gears. First thought was gearbox had gone... Then I saw my buddy riding up with drive belt in hand...

    Ok, pulled the cover and everything looks brand spanking new! Bit of play on shaft (check video). What you guys reckon? http://youtu.be/SCE_K903Sws

    And I have nice big, fat leak under the transmission cover, so I will be pulling it sooner rather than later. Looks like it might be from around the primary adjuster bolt. Shot was taken after I had wiped it down. And off course, looks like there are no gaskets in the whole of South Africa...
