maybe an option for the belt : put your bike in neutral, (between fwd and reverse) this will free up the upper wheel of the cvt, and while releasing tenssion on the center bolt, you can turn the wheel for the belt to set itself in position (loosen, then rotate, then loosen then rotate...) maybe that could work to...

Hey Beth! To get the new belt seated in properly, you don't need to drive the bike. Turn the drive wheel either way and you will see the belt work its way to the top. This is the same clutch system as I have on my sled (snowmobile) and have done this many times. Enjoyed your video, thanks!

That is an industrial torque drive that been around for over 100 years. My 1975 Rokon Enduro motorcycle had a similar drive assy. There is definitely a trick to changing out the belt. What is interesting is that these belts wear from the sides not on the top and bottom(where the teeth are). It will become narrower as it wears. You did a good job. Thanks for sharing this.

Word of advice, you should always blow out the secondary & primary clutches with air to remove belt debris. And also take a scotch brite pad with break cleaner and clean inside of the clutches. Then use a rag and wipe them down to clean of the residue. Just some advice, I could see belt dust on the clutches in the video. That’s why I was bringing this to your attention. This makes sure the clutches have a clean surface to grab the belt. Not doing so can cause belt slip over time and damage the belt and the clutches which can get costly if having to replace or rebuild them. And just do a thorough observation of the clutches conditions to make sure nothing is lose or has any chips dents or physical wear. And regarding the belt replacement, you need to always crank the unit after you swap the belt and allow the clutches to engage the belt to rise to the top the secondary clutches.

This part number supersedes the former 422280654. A quick test in the garage proved that the new belt got rid of the clunk at take off, which is awesome. We'll see next summer if this lasts. A couple of tricks I learned: Removing the muffler does helps a lot when trying to put the cap back on. It's only one bolt and a two spring clamp (but the springs are tricky to put back on if you've never done this). Finally, steering the wheels full lock to the left helped me get the clamshell higher up in the air.

I do all my own work so videos like these are being squirreled away for future reference. Comment: CVT belts do wear from the sides because they are constantly being "pinched" by the two sheaves as they open and close up which alters the overall output ratio. Also, when working on rotating machinery like you were, good safety practices have you disconnecting the battery to eliminate the chance of any unintentional rotation that can cause serious injury, or worse.

I think Can-Am just wants your money. 12k miles between belt changes seems quite excessive. I ride a 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1300 that has its original drive belt which is similar to the Ryker but it is completely exposed to the elements between the engine/transmission and the rear wheel. I live in the MetroPhœnix area where it is hot, dry, and dusty, yet my drive belt has lasted 47k miles. Yamaha recommends it be replaced every 50k miles. I ride with guys who own belt-drive Harleys and they have many years and thousands of miles on them without a belt change. Personally, I believe Can-am is either scamming or their parts are sub-standard and low quality. I once wanted to trade the Yammy for a Ryker Rally because I'm 71 and now have bad knees, but the more I see of the difficulty to do what should be simple maintainance is pushing me away.

If I bounce off the seat I might get my butt wiped good. I would get an entillegent design fender or a back rest. Also I would paint it a highly visible color. Red, yellow or green. I would likely paint it yellow. I have been ran down by an automobile already and I don't want that to happen again. I almost lost a leg. If some of the body is raw plastic painting it will be expensive.

There are no signs of worn belt dust on the clutch, its surroundings, or inside the belt housing. The old belt still looks new. I serviced a multitude of Honda vehicles and Goldwing motorcycles that used rubber camshaft timing belts. I always mark the old belts so I don't mix them up with the new ones. Most of the time, those timing belts still look new, just like the belt on your Ryker. It's too bad Can Am did not install a drive belt inspection cover on the belt housing so you can inspect it without taking it all apart. Your old drive belt could have easily lasted 20,000 miles or more.

As you back off the pressure, from the tool, that is against the pully, spin the upper pully by hand. Probably need to scotch the wheels and have the machine in neutral. As you spin the upper pully, the belt will automatically climb higher inside the upper pully.

I have to let you know that the belt was on correctly after you have installed it. There is really no way of screwing it up. When you install the pulley adapter and tighten up the puller/locking tool, this pushes back the back plate and therefore relasing the friction off the belt from the sides and from that point you are able to pull the belt off the drives. Unlike regular belt driven engines, the Can-Am Ryker, just like the Can-Am Maverick Side by Side off road ATV works in exactly the same way. The belt is tensioned from the sides when the two plates move inwards tightening and increasing the friction on the sides of the belt. The CVT works by the two side plates opening and closing and the clutch engages the belt. The faster engine revolution closes the two plates and lower engine revolution opens the plates thereby releasing the tension off the belt and decreasing propulsion. When you took the Ryker for a run that's exactly what happened. The increased engine revolution caused the two plates to tighten againts the belts and the engine's revolution engages the clutch. The higher the engine revolution, the tighter the belt gets and the faster the Ryker goes.

They will get you in the general area but you are going to have to remove a lot more... just make sure you take photos before removing so you know how it went before you took it apart. This also aids in not having everything back together and having to reopen the damn machine because you left a part out. Because I have Can-Am Mavericks the belt swap is pretty easy but I don't change them out until, one, I either shred one or it starts to slip and I drive my Mavericks a lot harder than I do my Ryker. So I'll probably just inspect the belt rather than change it out but a great video for those who just have a Ryker... Great JOB... 👍🏼

@@RykerRydes Lots of photos when doing any job especially when it comes to doing a teardown and replacement or upgrade is always a good idea when and if you are not doing it on a regular basis... The nice thing is the invention of the cellphone now allows for this right on the spot so no need to run and grab the camera once your done you can always delete the photos... 👍🏼

All you had to do is lift the back tire off ground and run the engine up and the belt would have automatically adjusted its self. its the same as a snowmobile and that is how you do it on them

From my experience had my transmission message hit at 11k, waited until 12k miles to actually have belt swapped and I could tell ya I lost some top end speed and overall acceleration. I did have the dealer swap the belt out and I’m pretty sure I could’ve stretched it a few thousand more miles. BRP wants to prevent people from blowing belts out, as it’s a pretty violent scenario and makes a mess inside the belt housing, so better safe than sorry. I really appreciate the video. This transmission is damn near the same as their can am X3 but the Ryker is a oriented weird. Thanks again

Hello Beth!! I’m reaching out to each of you that I follow. I had that rattling and knocking and remember that in most cases that means it’s time to change the belt. I’m at over 2yrs and not nearly enough miles yet as I’ve been doing mods the entire time between work. So, I changed the belt and I’m about to raise the rear wheel and see if the belt will tighten back up as it reached a short distance and won’t tighten. The belt was loose when I pulled the cover off so I’m thinking I may have another issue?

@Bud Redden also, the belt at my dealership was more expensive than what BRP charges. So you can order from BRP or did what I did and go on Ebay and bought a belt from a wrecked Ryker with low miles, or even a junkyard. Mine only had 124 miles on it. Just a thought.

I bought a used Ryker 600 in May. It has less than 10,000 miles on it, but it's a 2019 model - and according to the previous owner, still has the original belt. He didn't think it needed replacing until the 12000 mile maintenance cycle. I haven't had any problems, but I may change it out anyway. And after watching your video, I no longer feel I've been denied essential, need-to-know information.... 🙂
