CVT COVER REMOVAL By rugged (Read 991 times)

[rugged]

ZNEN150T-18 , I've removed 8 bolts, I see nothing else that would be holding the cover on. My cover does have a plastic cap like device over the variator portion of the cover ; however this appears to me to be screwed on from the inside of the cover and shouldn't be a factor in the cvt cover removal. This is certainly the first time I've attempted to remove the cover and with just over 1200 miles I'd say it's still factory applied.

concerns: cover removal and gasket salvage, am I being to timid not trying to hulk it.

trying to change belt and weights

thanks

A rubber mallet is your friend... Give the cover a few pops and it'll come loose.

Don't worry about salvaging the gasket... its relatively useless anyway.

Other will probably chime in, but that's my $0.02.

Do you have the kick-starter off it? It hold the cover on....

You need to remove the bolt completely from the kickstart shaft or the arm will NOT come off...

Belt and weights changed...rubber mallet did the trick,,,had to remove the entire footpeg assembly (left it off)..test drive went great....unsure of stock rollers actual weight, but I replaced with 12gram Dr.Pulley sliders.

thanks for the help
