This is a pretty big job, the whole primary needs to come off, clutches, compensating sprocket, and inner primary. you need to unbolt the swingarm, remove the left side isolator, unbolt left shock, carefull sneak the belt between the trans housing and swingarm. If you wanna tackle this yourself. your are gonna need a manual, there are alot of specs to follow. you really need to look closely at the 3 transmission seals, any wetness, i would change them, i usually change them all anyway. you need to change the inner primary seal and starter shaft seal while you're in there.

Vespa px150 drive belt or drive chain?

- the classic two stroke engine Vespas (since 1946 to ca. 1981) with gear shift at the handlebar have a direct drive to the rear wheel axle without any belt or chain.
- that is unique on scooters - but the newer models like ET4, LX, GTS etc. have now an automatic transmission with a variator belt.

I have 03 road king replaced new drive belt it blow in a short time gave it a 1/2" play. Took it to the harley shop where i bought it they said there's no warrinty. Drive sprockits look good. What could...

Tony, I'm sorry to say, that there is no warranty on any drive belt. I've worked with both final drive belts and primary drive belts and it's the same story, no warranty on them. Usually, the reason for premature failure of any drive belt is that during the installation, the belt was bent in too tight a radius. Harley belts used to come with a piece of paper in the box that told you not to bend the belt in a radius tighter than 4" or so. Bending it this tight damages the internal cords of the belt and leads to premature failure. You should never bend the belt into a loop any smaller than your front pulley. Primary drive belts are more difficult to install than final drive belts. I've seen people replace these belts, fire the engine and bust the new belts immediately. $150 down the drain. Man, that's a lot of work on a Road King to replace the belt only to have it break again. Better luck next time.
