    Default Belt Replacement Help

    I just took off the rear wheel and can't figure out how to get the belt off and around the frame. Does any one have a video on how replace the belt?

    I would think you need to take the belt off the front pulley to give you slack.

    Tried that. The frame won't allow it to fully come off. Has to be some type of trick.

    If you took the fender or swing arm off so you had the belt on the out side of that frame rail would that help?

    Can you post a photo of what you are dealing with and circle the area that is giving you a problem?

    According to the Service Manual: Take off the left side body panels and there is a lateral support you unbolt below the fuel tank, then you can get the belt out that way.

    When asking a question please tell us what model and year of the Spyder you are asking a question about. For the specific question you are asking it makes a difference. F3 forum, so I guess a F3, but there are many types of F3s. May I suggest putting the spec of your ride in your signature. That way you do not have remember to do it everytime you ask a question.

    For stuff like this it is helpful to have a service manual. A digital copy is cheap and you just download it and usable in an hour depending on your internet speed.

    Thank you. Was able to get the belt off easily with your instructions. I am now waiting on the new belt to arrive and about to purchase the shop manual.

    Appreciate the help.

    Remove the big side panel, the seats and the smaller panel near the footpeg.There is the foot peg bracket and guard near the front sprocket. Those need to come off, easy peasy!
