I am looking to finally change out my sliders and belt and I need a proper model and place to purchase the Buzzetti variator holding tool. I've seen a few for sale on SIP but I don't want to buy the incorrect model. If someone could link me to the exact piece I wish to purchase I would really appreciate it. For under $40 it seems worth the price to have the proper tool.

Thanks,
Scott

Man, why are you so stubborn?
Save your money.
Make this:

If you can't make this, then you have no business changing anything on your Swing except the air in your tires!


All you need is a drill and a hacksaw.

I personally would like the tool for absolute accuracy and for future use. I am quite certain I could take a piece of wood and design with those instructions. I just have a preference for the tool. As far as worrying about me being insulted. It's funny to me and things written down always get taken wrong. It seems as though every time someone writes an email someone else gets offended and its because you can't read someone's face or hear voice inflection, along with a myriad of other social queues that we are conditioned to focus on. So I really just want to get the correct tool and I am merely asking for the exact spot to make such a purchase on line so that I get it right.

The other Honda pulley holder (only available in the USA) is 07AMB-MCTA100.

This is the pulley holder that screws into the holes from the removed aluminum housing and has two other screws to fit into the variator holes with a large hole for the socket to remove the variator nut.

One good thing for me out of this thread is that I know now that I'm not ready to take on this challenge. I just ordered the Dr Pulley sliders (thx, Bigbird) and the new belt is on the way but I don't have an impact gun or a variator tool. Fortunately, I did manage to find a good independent mechanic, with whom I want to build a relationship. So, I'll give this job to him. (Also, he hasn't heard of Dr Pulley - so this should be a good introduction.)

Mark,

I bought an electric impact wrench at harbor Freight for $40. It max's out at 90 ftlb of torque so it works great. I can change out my stuff in about 1/2 hour using this . I made a "Pictorial" for doing this so it really is very easy to do and saves quite a bit of money. But having a mechanic do it is even easier.

I prefer to make my own they are easy to make and I have the time.
will make one for the secondary clutch .I cat see buying something when I enjoy making it, something to pass the time on a rainy day.

Don't waste your time making a rear clutch holder. Just apply the parking brake and also use a zip tie between the rear brake lever and the handle bar. You'll never be able to move the rear wheel that way. What you will need to pull the clutch is Honda's proprietary tool. There's no way around that.

I have an impact,and parking brake. I was referring to spring removal of the clip
for disassembling.

the clutch assembly, when it is time for service . The driven pully.

Bigbird,
Your link is not about a silverwing.

One can't inspect the clutch without disassembling.

When unscrewing the central bolt...the whole pulley + clutch block comes out in your hands and then you can inspect or change the pads.
The bell stays on the transmission axle.

The Honda tool is only needed when you want the pulley-clutch block taking apart.

Seldom needed.
Example when changing the big spring.

I dont always exsplain thing right ,sorry for the confusion.
throw the cow over the fence , some hay.

I like to take things apart just to see how they look in there new condition so when I do have a problem and it is not working right. It might give me a reference on the wear and tear ,and what needs to be replaced .Just something to do ,and put back together.

Are you planning to pull the cams and have a look at the shims?

No,not in this case.For what I read on this forum ,if it ain't broke don't
fix it . With 5000 kl on my scoot,it will be years before that time comes.
For now just for curiosity ,rear wheel removal,. front wheel ,drive train,and the plastic. I bought a service manual,2002 to 2010, very expensive,
$137 retail in Canada .I don"t do without it regardless of the price. I have a 750 shadow 1985 service and shop repair manual for sale. I don't need any more .

I tried to order one on Ebay and was not abel to complete the order.I had the same problem trying to get silverwing mirror extenders risers for sw .
I was abel to order one for VTX 10 mil bolts I hope they fit.

+1 on gascapdude, mine got to the UK no problem and the screws appear to be stainless, extenders are also staying black so far !!
