Mon nite broke the drive belt on my SERK. Anyone know how many labor hours or a dollar value to do this job? This definitely exceeds my mechanical ability.

Did that last month.....'bout $900......also had to get the pullies dressed though.

Buy a new one and change it yourself, saves a ton of money for more chrome.

With the heat we have this year everywhere, you may want to ac your garage first.

also had to get the pullies dressed though.

How much extra did the shop charge for that service?  And what did they actually do?

















(if someone puts a picture of a drive pulley dressed in Barbie clothes I'll pee on the monitor!)

Repair should be around $675-$750.00 give or take a bit.    Belt is around 300 and 2011 book labor is 4.7 hours on a FL.

Had a tear in my SERK belt and had to replace.  Get ready to bend over...apparently to replace the belt requites the shop to disassemble the entire bike...don't recall cost, but I remember it was severe sticker shock.  Called another HD shop to get a price on this repair and they quoted about the same.  As with you, I didn't want to tackle something this involved.

"Entire bike" has to be their overstatement to scare you in to preparing for sticker shock.  Outer primary, back wheel and swingarm have to come off.  It's not a simple job.  But it's not nearly as bad as they apparently made it sound.

It's same in France but you change only the unit US$ by Euros !

not sure on the extra....but the pulley's were pretty badly hacked up fron a nut still embedded in the belt....this was at an Indy shop (Arrow Cycle in Duncan, BC)so the cost was a bit better than at a dealer.

Try and change EVERY seal and gasket, even if  they look good. I had a dealer do my belt, and 300 miles later the seal started leaking. When I asked they said it looked good so they didn't change it.

Go to Don's, from the looks of his place it has to have AC.

FullSac Has a pulley kit thats will make the bike quicker. I would call them and get some info. Don't think it's too bad.

Does Fulsac sell the 30 tooth pulley and the -1 belt?
