One of my riding buddies had the belt in his CVT break and I volunteered to help him replace it. We used the short cut of removing the engine mount bolts and lifting the frame up high enough to slide the CVT off the engine. It is much faster. It took us about 4 1/2 hours to pull the CVT out and take it apart for inspection.
We pulled all the body work off from the seat forward and we also removed the seat just so that we could watch all the wires to make sure none of them we being drawn to tight. In addition to pulling the engine mount bolts we had to undo the rear shocks, remove the exhaust, take the connection from the air box to the throttle bodies loose, remove the bolts that connect the radiator to the frame, disconnect the wires that go from the engine to the frame, and take the rear caliper loose and move it forward. Once we did all that we used a bottle jack to lift the frame up until it was high enough to slide the CVT out.
