Ciao da MILANO,, grazie per il video,,, ho un joyride 200 del 2005 che è quasi uguale al tuo e faccio io la manutenzione e riparazione leggera di quasi tutto, da 17 anni,,,, Hi thanks for the video ,,, I have a joyride 200 which is almost the same as yours,, and I have been doing light maintenance and repairs on almost everything for 17 years ,,,,
Fantastic video...thanks so much for the tips! Makes it look "easy" to change out the rollers/sliders. I was hesitant to try it....but, now looks very doable. I am off to Home Depot to get parts for my variator holder....sweet!
I just recently replaced the belt on my 2015 HD200. I did not need to remove the clutch assembly at all. It is not that difficult to spread the rear pulley open against spring pressure with your hands and push the belt down in there. I did make a tool very much like that one to remove the front drive face, but just used a regular 1/2" socket and ratchet to remove the nut. No impact driver needed. I used a torque wrench to reinstall the nut. Be aware that parts can be hard to get for the HD200. I ordered several parts for mine when I bought it brand new, including the belt, rollers, and clutch shoes. It took a LONG time to get them. I do not like Dr. Pulley stuff, I use the stock rollers. It's up to you. My rollers were fine when I replaced the belt. I immediately ordered another new belt, it should arrive about the time it needs to be replaced again. Alliance Powersports really needs to get on the ball with the replacement parts issue.
+vulcan1753 Considering that smaller engines average about 10 times more stress and wear and tear than their larger counterparts, it is a good idea to remove the clutch assembly to examine it too. If you do this at about 6K miles, keep in mind that in reality it's actually 60K miles that you're looking at maintenance wise... Also, why you wouldn't replace your rollers at that time baffles me. They are very cheap and easy to do... If for some reason the belt breaks, then you have no choice but to disassemble both the variator and the clutch assemblies to clean them properly :)
The 2010 2011?? models here in the US have rear disk brakes now. There is nothing wrong with the drum as it is large and very powerful. The tests with the Honda belt were not very good. Take off was slow and top end was very much reduced, but in a pinch it did and would work only if you do mid range riding.The slider should work fine with any HD200 model but the euro and US models are different weights to begin with so you may notice a difference in performance. I made the variator tool myself:)
MAN. . . Great Video. . . .Do you think the same set up can be used for the Kymco Xciting 500? After watching your video I really think that I could do it myself.
Hey Jeff. I wish we had a guy like you over here in Australia! I have the 08' HD 200 and it is the rear disc model. Surprising after researching for the purchase with your drum model as an 08' inspiration. I guess it's the Euro version here? Lucky break on that disc! I wonder if your honda 906-22-30 cvt belt is relevant to me? How do I get my mitts on that variator tool? so many questions! Will your 2015-16 sliders fit my ride?… the list goes on. Great vids anyway Jeff. Keep it up!
I will as soon as I need them. At 6600 miles I still have a good 50% left on the rear and 60% on the front. Most likely it will be done in 2011so "stay-tuned"
Hello and Thank You. You can use a regular ratchet and socket but it is going to be more of a pain to do so. Be very careful and make 100% sure you don't rotate the engine backwards. Also make sure you use a holder tool. Be very careful of the fins on the variator and also the clutch bell housing is not exactly the strongest either. Good luck and don't rush it. I just replaced my belt again at 20,000 miles a month ago. I do highly recommend using an impact wrench if you can.
Just one question...why is the variator tool needed if you are using an impact wrench? Great vids btw...I have both an RV250 and an HD125, and I'm swapping out the rollers for sliders on the RV next week.
The sliders made decent noticeable improvement in acceleration when already travelling (think passing gear) but didn't do anything for acceleration from a stop. I did note a slight addition in acceleration to top speed but no noticeable higher top speed gain.
@@lansdrymanvideos You hit it, the same here with my HD2 200i. No noticeable difference off the line, however in between 20 - 60 kph better pull. Above that no diff, and a 3 or 4 kph more to end. All in all not that important to me.
@@lansdrymanvideos Take two on my Dr. Pulley sliders After a few thousands km on them I got a shudder from the transmission when starting off the line. I first thought it's the belt. It looked perfectly fine, and there was also not much rubber dust in the housing. Changed back to the original rollers, and all is smooth again. And this is where it will stay now. The originals are the best overall, and worth the higher price.
@@krollpeter I have a 2016 modell of HD2 200i. What is the diameter and weight of the rollers do you use? The manual says 20x15 14.5g. Is that correct? Thanks.

I have a Hd2 200 i, I got it new for a good price as an outdated model. Your videos are not the same model but many things are similar. Helps!

Excellent! Can you please do tire changes?
Does impact tool torque is the same on the manual impact tool? And does the electric impact tool have the same torque?
@LetsRide738 The rollers must face the correct way or performance will be affected and possibly could damage variator components

thanks for sharing nice video very detail..
Hi... great videos man! I dont have an impact gun, can I use a regular socket and ratchet?

... not necessary needed. If you have an impact wrench it works without.
Did the Dr. Pulley sliders mke a difference for you?

@@gisepy Mine is a 2015, it came with 16 g rollers. My Dr. Pulley were 15 g.
Left ya belt pretty loose
