Noticed a weird sound when I am slowing down, noticed a few teeth missing out of my belt. Can I order this from my local Harley dealership or will I need to find an alternate means of getting one, also roughly how much is this gonna run me?

Thanks from a new bueller

Try American Sport Bike for all your tube framed Buell needs first. It is always nice to do business with another Bueller like Al and Joann at American Sport Bike.

Nice looking Yellow Jacket Pearl S2 in your profile pic.

Good place as any to chime in with a question:

Do XB belts work on tubers?

And if you're going to do XB, use the latest Ulysses belt. Long wheelbase/long swingarm, so you get some more belt (remember - "scary-loose"), and the Uly is the heaviest of the XB's (and most likely to snap a belt - DAMHIK). The revisions on a Uly have gone from .1AK, to .1AKA, to .1AKB...all the way to .1AKF.

Question, though - there are different tooth pitches for XB. '03-earlier, and '04-up. The Uly uses the '04-up...which matches a tuber, early teeth or late?

'04-up. And as mentioned, the Uly belt is the way to go. IIRC, it has 7 more teeth (135 vs. 128) which will give you roughly 2" of wheelbase. Actually you may want to check if you have room for it or not. I definitely would have if I still had my bike because it had XB wheels and 65 tooth pulley instead of the stock 61.

OOH - what was the OEM application for the 65 pulley? I've been thinking about bumping the revs a bit on my S2...or was it just a stock XB pulley on the XB wheel?

mine was just a stock XB pulley on an XB wheel. The XB's shorter wheelbase allowed it to use a 128 tooth belt with the 65 tooth rear pulley. My wheel was pushed all the way to the front of the adjusters to fit the belt o there, and if the XB pulley had an outer guard the way the Tuber pulley does it wouldn't have fit. However it doesn't so I was able to slide it on. On my next build though I'll use a 135 tooth belt from the long wheelbase XB, and a ZTL2 caliper : D.
