Part One: My misfortune
So, I kinda had this feeling that my belt was going to break sometime in the near future, and sure enough. I fill up and go on a joy ride and POP. I was stranded for a lil while but on to the main part of my story.
After getting the bike home I opened up the cvt cover to take a look at literally belt crumbs were falling out. My belt is barely recognizable. I found a piece of a piece of the belt that somewhat said 669 so i'm assuming thats the size. But there were shreds everywhere like I pulled out a ball off what seemed to be rubber shavings that accumulated. I had to get pliers to pull out shreds wrapped around and stuck to the variator.
Part two: MY F*CK-UP
SO while everything was open I figured it would be cool to see how things work, so I hit the electric starter....BIG MISTAKE! Like 4 or 5 different pieces fly in different directions, then a spring falls out. I think I gathered the pieces. But now when I hit the starter it just makes a sound like gears are rubbing but not catching. I put the kick-starter/cover back on to see if it would kick, and it was stuck. like wouldn't budge. I didn't put too much pressure because I didn't want to further mess things up.
Please help!
I don't have a replacement belt yet, but I defiantly don't wanna get one and be stuck with a problem I created.
What happen? How do I fix it.
