Open Belt Primary
 \\;
 \\;
 \\; \\; Anyone installed a Rivera Primo IV Extreme Open Belt Primary on their bike or know of anyone who did. \\; Just wondering how well it runs and if there is any problems with that set-up or maybe any other suggestion on different open primary drives besides the Primo.

RE: Open Belt Primary
I just installedthe Brute IV Extreme on my Bourget. The 3" open belt drive that was installed at the factory was a Rivera &\\; it had some clutch problems. So the factory had a special deal price with return of the original belt drive. I did the work myself &\\; it turned out great. Its a very nice setup for the money.

Primo Rivera has detailed installation instructions on their website.

 \\; \\; Thanks for the reply.. How is the clutch setup on the Brute IV Extreme? \\; Did you have to upgrade or is that the one that comes complete with the kit. \\; Just wondering also how is the clutch noise. \\; Please let me know.
Thanks

RE: Open Belt Primary
ive got a bdl, heavy duty and cheap, $800.00 on ebay. simple install but remember to install a outer belt guard. if you ever dip it over and its open then you ruin everything. i did just that and the belt guard saved it. all and all there cheap compared to the stock chain setup. but evry one thinks how cool they are. if i had to do it again i wouldnt.

No never got pant leg caught in the belt. Also It would be difficult to do.
The clutch setup on the Brute IV Extreme is very well made & pretty much bullet proof. Installation is very straight forward. Primo Rivera also is very helpful by phone. I do have a bit of clutch noise when the bike is running in neutral with the clutch lever out. As soon as I pull in the clutch lever it goes away - same when running in gear. I think some further clutch adjustments will fix it.
