You should only have to pull the rear wheel to change a belt That's all I've done on the ones I've worked on. But it does require dissasmbly that a chain doesn't.

She mentioned the belt drives in her post.. that's what I was referring to, not the bike she owns:

All I meant was that if you are prepared you have a chance in hell of putting a chain back together on the side of a trail. Not so much with a belt.

Mine is a chain drive.

I *thought* I was getting old, bought a cruiser, then realized I ride for the thrill of a good curve, not just to be on a bike. So I got a SS and found out it's my wrists that are getting old. Now I ride the cruiser to work, the SS for fun.

And I love Adventure bikes. I can't watch Long Way Down or Long Way Round without getting the itch.

Na, you can do it in about an hour with only a few tools on the 1125. No remval of the swingarm.

Heres a link to badweb where a memeber shows how it's done with minimal tools.

I'm thinking more along the lines of this for a more comfy ride.

Besides Alaska, where are some other places you want to hit.

I want to try to hit Vegas, Mt Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lookout Mtn, Pikes Peak, highway 1 (northern cali), Whats that desert section that is awesome through cali, can't recall it now. Definitely one of the good roads in north arky. Yellowstone and some of the other parks near there.
