I have a 2000 Thunderbolt s3 and was wondering if I could go from a 61 to a 65 tooth rear sprocket with the original belt and just move the wheel as far forward as it will go

Thats a huge jump, I dont know if you will have the room to move it that far forward.

Mike--first,Why??And then where are you getting a 65 tooth belt sprocket that will bolt on a Buell wheel?And changing the front is so much easier with less adjustment needed on belt.

Mikey,

You are adding 4 teeth to the rear sprocket. As the belt only engages no more than 2/3 of the rear sprocket the effect upon total belt path length is no more than 2/3 * 4 = 2-2/3 added belt teeth to maintain the same rear axle position, which equates to no more than 1-1/3 (1.333) teeth added to both the top and bottom runs of the belt.

If you can measure the linear distance comprising ten teeth on your belt, then divide that by 10 and then multiply that by 1.333, you will find how far forward your rear axle will need to move to accommodate the 65 tooth rear sprocket. It should hopefully fall within the adjustment range available. : )

Let us know for sure how it comes out.
