Just acquired an 02 Cyclone.What belt do I need to replace the one I don't have anymore on my 2002 M2 Cyclone? Is it a Sportster belt, and if so which year, etc? Thanks? If anyone can point me to the 'magic' thread on simplified install process that would be great too. -Cheers | ||

Welcome, one of our sponsors is American Sport Bike. They show a belt http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/17057 It would probably be a good time to replace the rubber motor mount isolators at the same time. A member by the name Buellistic has spent many hours coming up with different procedures for Buells. Hopefully he will chime in or you can search for him in the search section and send him a private message (PM). Good Luck and welcome to BWB. Gary | ||

BTW, a Factory Service Manual and Parts Breakdown is invaluable when working on this bike. I found the web page called the "Scott Free" method for changing the isolators. http://danielcstarr-pages.blogspot.com/2008/09/una uthorized-scott-free-technique-for.html The biggest cause of failures of belts is over tightening them. They have new and improved isolators, do a search. Gary | ||

Take 2 big fender washers, run a bolt through them and tighten it down with a nut to compress one of the rear isolators (through the frame hole), push the frame down enough to "capture" the isolators then remove the nut, bolt, and washers and push the frame down the rest of the way. Easy peezy Don't forget to route the belt correctly (don't ask me how I know) | ||

See thread below for pictures: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=47623&post=2159350#POST2159350 I used the '04 or greater buell XB belt from Al @ American Sport Bike . This belt is kevlar rienforced. When you get a new belt be sure not to bend it in a tight radius. This can weaken the new belt. Inspect the sprocket surface per service manual. When the surface wears out it starts to flake. The flakes are sharp and can grind away at the belt. It is a wear item. (Message edited by jim2 on May 31, 2015) | ||

Al will tell you what you need Hete is my way of doing the isos I simply lift the frame with a ratchet strap after loosening the old bolts push down on the rear wheel to release then put new isos into frame lube bottom edge a little then push frame back down I could change Isos in about 30 minutes | ||

What tool do I need for the in set star shaped bolt for the isolator | ||
| S1owner |
Go to the knowledge vault and down load the free S1 manual it will work for alot of your bike. You will need a nice set of torx bits but newer bolts are allen head do not reuse old bolts! You will need a ft pound torgue wrench | ||
| Bluzm2 |
You need a long reach torx. I found one for auto brakes that works perfectly. | ||

The torx is a T60 |
