Recently purchased a 2008 1125r which has a Drummer exhaust with a db killer. I like the exhaust with and without the db killer in it. The bike has a shade over 20k on it, and the other day the drive belt failed. I believe it was original belt. To complete the replacement belt install, I want to get the back tire off the ground, but I am not sure how to accomplish this with a Drummer exhaust. I don't want to mash the can. Should I take the Drummer off and jack it up that way? Any ideas? I searched the board for a while and could not come up with anything, so I will apologize now if this is a duplicate question. | ||

You can drive over a Drummer with a dumptruck and not dent it. Check with Kevin, I say jack away. Z | ||

You don't need to take the wheel off to do a belt change, I've done swaps on the side of the road before. One of the main steps is loosening the axle almost all the way, it has a taper on it to give you more slack. The XB Drummer can be used to jack the bike up as it is made from the stock muffler, but I can't vouch for the 1125 version being strong enough. | ||

What Froggy said... just be careful to NOT loosen all the way. Leave a few threads in the threaded side and it will loosen the belt enough so you can work the belt onto the pulleys. | ||

You don't jack the bike, you hang the bike. Use a front wheel stand and raise the back end on a rope. The back end is actually very light. |
