Hi i am wanting to replace the drive belt on my 92 fxrs/sp the original broke is it a nightmare of a job could you give me the steps in fitting new one or is it something i should not attempt cheers

Replacing the final drive belt is a bit of a job and I don't suggest it for the amateur mechanic. It does require some tools that the average person does not usually have in his toolbox. In order to replace the final drive belt, not only does one have to remove the entire primary drive including the clutch and the inner primary cover, but you must also remove the rear wheel and the swing arm. On your FXR, the transmission is mounted in rubber mounts that are supported by the same bolt as the swingarm. This means that you will have to support the frame and the engine seperately in order to get the swingarm out. You will have to retorque the engine sprocket to 150-165 foot pounds and the clutch mainshaft nut torques to 60-80 foot pounds in the LEFT HANDED DIRECTION. If you have to remove the front belt pulley, you'll need a special socket to get the large nut off that holds it on and the threads on it are also LEFT HANDED. It torques back to at least 150 foot pounds as well. So, you'll need a "pulley locking tool" to hold this pulley while you torque it as well. I would suggest the purchase of a service manual as well since this is a moderately complicated job and sometimes "a picture is worth a thousand words".

Good Luck
