Inner primary removal for belt change on an 03 touring. What do I need to replace other than gasket set? Not looking for mods that budget was spent already.

 

All gaskets like you advised, shifter shaft seal etc., inner primary bearing. Check the clutch plates for minimum specs, tensioner shoe, fluid replacement. That about covers it.

 

Went into mine for shifter shaft seal and replaced all seals, inner primary bearing, primary chain, and both inner and outer gaskets.

 

I know you said the mod budget was fried, but if you are going to all that trouble, damn the torpedoes, I would go back with a chrome inner. Just sayin'.

 

Since you have a earlier model you do not have to worry about the main shaft primary bearing like those with the 6 speed unless there is something wrong with it. I have over 92,000 on my 02 ultra with the original bearing. Yes replacing the shifter shaft seal is a good idea. How many miles do you have on it?

I all so have the original clutch plates but if you have a lot of miles on them will not hurt to check them. I do not set still holding in my clutch which holding in the clutch at red lights and so on all you are doing is putting more ware on them.

 

I just replaced the belt and the rear sprocket on mine at 119,600 miles. Then I bolted it all back up. Now it's at 125,000 miles. As was said, I'm not worried about inner primary bearings on a 5 speed.

The bike has never experienced a leak or a weep, so I'll let you all know when /if it does. Pulling the primary just isn't that big of a deal to me.

What was toughest for me was disassembling the swingarm enough to "walk" the belt through the gap between the swingarm and the frame.

About 5 hours total to do the whole thing.
