My belt snapped and whipped my ass!!!!

[ROJO]

So going home from work I romp it a bit and the belt snaps, then whips me in the ass like ima bitch!!! It hurt for a second, but I was to worried about crossing three lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder.

Question for BPG or anyone else: I have a 04 XB12s. If I order a belt off of BP.NET, do I need the newer pulley that I have read about on here. If so, Is there a way to tell if I already have one? I assume I have all original equipment since the bike is a 04 with 12,000 miles. Thanks ahead for the help.

No you don't need anything new, just a belt, '04+ belt setups are the same.

Also I have a new belt with only 500 miles on it in perfect condition, I would sell it to you for $145 shipped, the only reason I don't have it on my bike is because I did the Ss swingarm so I had to get the longer belt.

Lucky!

That could be nasty. Do you have the belt guards on? I don't, and you're making me nervous.

 

[xtremelow]

Damn Chicago Harley has got some deals there. I guess I should drop my price then, if they have them new for what I want for my newish one.

Since Chi town offers it for 140+ shipping I will sell you mine, in new condition with only 500 miles for $110/shipped

or you could take the chance with a used one for $60+ shipping, but belts are hard to judge and I am betting they don't know how many miles are on the belt just what it looks like.

hahahaha!
You whipping on your race horse & it whipped you back!

I was thinking about it, but on second thought...
I think I'll leave my belt guards on.

Yo Extremelow, Ill take it for $110. I have to leave for the evening. I will be back on later tonight or tomorrow to work out details with ya. Thanks.

iluvmath..no I do not have the belt gaurds on. I think now it is something to consider before you take them off. I gunned it real hard to get around some trucks on the hwy. and when it snapped it was like getting popped with a wet towel.

 

[xtremelow]

Sorry Belt is sold, RT Performancer lives locally and is going to pick it up.

 

[ROJO]

Cool..any one in STL,MO area with a belt that has relatively low miles?

 

[skellybuell]

As far as I know you could get the upgraded belts I think they are 08, they are suppose to be stronger. Someone will prob correct me if I am wrong. I have an 03 and got the 04 sprockets and 08 belt, no problem yet and I snapped two belts within 500 miles before the upgrade. Its money well invested as I look at it since the belts cost me 120 a piece.

 

[hula Buell]

OUCH !!!!!

 

[keisersozae]

I was worried that the belt would hit me when mine broke but luckily mine was hung on my stock rear turn signal, left side??? I dont have any belt guards. Pic is 3 hours later when my buddy got there (120 miles out).

 

[ROJO]

I got my belt from Buellsterparts.com today. $68.75 shipped. It was stated that the belt has 900 miles on it. Well, it looks brand new. There is no wear on it whatsoever. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or what, but I am very happy so far.
I plan on going off the manual to replace it. Is there anything fucnky that any one has experienced that I might need to know about? Thanks

 

[onelogue]

Hey Keisersozae,
Seriouly I thought this was my brothers truck! He has a Buell and i black Tacoma that like EXactly like your truck, same tires too. Sucks that your belt snapped, luckily it didn't hit you.

You guys lucked out, but could've been so much worse.

I'm starting to love this new site buellstersparts.com. Keep hearing so much good stuff about it.

Awsome rojo I picked up the belt from extreme and put it on today seems i lost some of the odd vibration i was having so i am pretty pleased.
I just pulled the right pegs support and front belt cover.belt tensioner and removable leg on the swing arm slipped off the old and installed the new.
was little work getting the tensioner back on but very doable

 

[ROJO]

What about the rear wheel? What kind of jack did you use?

 

[dave_xb12r]

No jack needed for belt installation.
