I was looking for the Drive Belt adjustment procedure in the SM.  In chapter 2 they tell you to find it in Ch.6.   Ch 6 has the spec listed, but no procedure that I could find.  Ch.6 tell you to go to Ch 2 for the adjustment procedure.  Am I losing it?

The owner's manual actually shows the picture, but tells you to go to the service manual for the procedure.

 

Thanks, Phil

Also, can someone please look up the part on page 2-61 of the cover on the top triple tree cutout around the fork top plugs?  On next page its part #27.

Thanks

The FXR4 has the part, only it's cutout for the riser filler piece and it has to be a different part number.  its called top clamp cover or something like that.

The main thing Phil is to make sure the axle is equal distance from Swingarm Pivot Point. The swingarm should be drilled about 4-6" in front of the axle. You make a measuremnet tool from a coat hanger, bend 90 degrees so you can stick one end into the drilled holes and reference the distance to cent of the axle. Covered the wire where it meets the axle with masking tape so you can mark the axle center. Then compare both sides this ensures the wheel is running striaght. The check belt tension per spec in Service Manual like 3/8" deflection at the opening in the belt guard with 10lbs up force. They make a guage for this measurement.

Thanks, Brad.  The alignment is in the manual.  What I was looking to verify was that the belt tension was done with the bike on the ground and with a rider on the seat.  This was mentioned in the Owners Manual

that's interesting ..... the fxr4 does have that part, but I don't find it in the pictures in the fxr4 parts manual along with all the other 'parts' for the front forks ...... seems odd

FXR4 Parts Manual page 70-71 part number 20,  67861-96 (FXR4 version)  FXR3 version has a different cutout.  That's the one I need.

There are only 15 P/N's on p.70-71, the Handlebar Aseembly page Phil. The blank cover on top of the fork tubes is on the Front Fork assembly p.58-59 and is number 27, P/N 45750-87. The 2 screws that hold it on are P/N 4092. But your triple trees need to already have the tappings in it to mount it. My upper tree P/N is 46183-99.

And if I had to guess by looking at that cover P/N, it comes off of an '87 FXLR. But that's just a guess!

Hope this all helps ya!

Hoist!
