I am considering buying the Diamond Highlighted Sprocket from Buell and was wondering what kind of tool I need to adjust the tension of the belt?

How much does this tool cost?

How difficult would this project be?

I plan on it. The 9's in the shop with the possibility of total damage. If so, I will hopefully have a 12 before long. I won't leave the dealer without the manual. I promise.

Just curious, that's all. Forums are all I have for now.

I was attempting to share the Buell experience with a friend on the night before Halloween. I agreed to let him take a spin around the block and he dumped it! Damaged: front wheel and tire, header, frame, swingarm, sprocket and every piece in between!

I always gotta learn ish the hard way!

Hardluck,

Maybe the next thing for your friend to experience is the thrill of opening his pocketbook / check book to pay for all the damage he caused.

And maybe a bruised noggin to boot... Or with a boot, either way. I have a couple friends who ride choppers and they both want to try the Buell... RIIIGHT... MAYBE I'll let them tear up my CB750 at thunderbird raceway next year and IF they can make close to my laptimes with it then I'll CONSIDER MAYBE THINKING about POSSIBLY letting them try ONE SLOW lap. But probably not.
