On the way back from my Texas Hill country trip last week my CVT belt broke 5 miles from home. I had logged about 1100 miles in all.
Trailered my 07 Executive with 94k over to Craigs's shop (aka Buffalo) and we started the tear down today. He said he had heard of a way to remove the transmission without pulling the engine. He had replaced his belt previously and pulled his engine. Essentially the frame is in the way and prevents removing the tranny to access the CVT belt.
So we removed the engine bolts to the frame and raised the frame above the engine. Worked real slick as we had the tranny out in 4 hours. Order parts in the morning and should be back on the road soon. Thank you Craig, you're a great mechanic and a good friend. BTW, this is the 3rd belt on this scooter.
