Look at your adjustment slots. Buy the shorter belt if your current adjustment is closer to the rear of the bike. Buy the longer belt if your current adjustment is closer to the front of the bike.

How about this - since you are going to have the inner primary off to replace the belt, why not install a 30T transmision pulley and then use a 130T drive belt.
