can you post a few pics of the spare belt in its holder, Jim?

racerdave...

I don't have a pic, but if you are referring as to how the belt is held in the holder, simply turn the belt onto its side and it fits. At least that is how it worked on last year's Fuse. Everyone tries to jam the belt in the holder like it used to be atop the clutch gaurd, but now it goes the other direction. Does this make any sense or should I set down the bottle and step away from the screen??

Lucky I'm up closing loose ends before vacation time and needed something different to do for a few minutes...

I just grabbed a spare belt and stuck it in there, prolly be able to adjust it a little better. I AM Pissed they got rid of the plastic shelf piece that held the tool kit down in the right hand compartment... I'm gonna see if I can get an 05 part.

The belt vibrates and rubs against the exhaust and cuts the edges of the belt. This wrecks the spare belt. Not sure what the fix is.........Belt on clutches don't last either.....as if I had to tell you guys this.

That's why they call it a "spare" belt... It's only meant to get you outta the woods, the holder's purpose is not to showcase a mint unused piece.

Bull Sh!t. Sometime I'm 300 miles away from my cabin. Blow a belt & I should put some rag on just to get me out of the woods! Then what?
I also had the side of a new belt damaged by this aborted belt holder. Ended up stuffing it in the trunk. Know that's not the perfect place for it but didn't come up with a better place, except a Poo engineers rear! :banghead:

I suppose you also rely on them little donut-spares in your cars to take you cross country well over 50 MPH as well?

I agree with you on the spare belt.Who carries a old worn out belt for a spare.The fusion belts are crap as it is why would anyone carry an old used one.I also ride far from home and an old belt would not get me home.

I never said it had to be worn out... But I sure as hell won't go out and blow $80 just to fill a void under the hood. Surely you have a 500-1000 mile belt laying around that will easily get you home?

Which brings up another point.... Who really goes out and puts 600 mile days in?

that because yor supposed to put the belt more foreward kinda stuff it more down in front of the shock tower it dont rub then :div20: if i had my sled i would take a pic. the dealer showed me this. just like the back end of the looped belt sits in the clip

 

[RedFusion900]

I never had any wear problems with the spare belt on my 05...it fit in there great, and didn't rub on anything.

 

[towrope]

Use a couple of tie-straps around the belt and you should have no trouble :div20:

 

[StevieWonder]

Fusion9500 is right I shove mine nose down and clip the back if you dont want that 2 cable ties either way its not that hard :banana:

 

[fusion900]

When I only got 100-150 miles per belt I was not having an old spare belt on hand. It is a poor place for the belt.

I always have a brand new 1 in there , keep an old belt? why so ya can baby it all the way home, yeah now dosnt that sound like a shitload of fun.Besides I knew id be needing the new 1 within 250 miles , had to buy at least 1 every trip and 1/2 the trips bought 1 on trail too. total of 11 belts last yr, yes gentleman , the 04 800 classic was theprelude to the 05 fusion

 

[rockrider]

Yeah...ahhh.. and why do you now have to install your spare belt into the holder a different way than what we have been doing for the past 20 years?

My spare belt is one that has about 30 odd miles on it and is properly broken in. I'd be pissed if it was burned on the pipe or otherwise ruined. The more I read the less I am impressed with the cleanfire engine sleds.

I havent burned one belt on my exhaust, and its all in its original place... So you are less impressed with the cleanfire?? Why are you reading so much about the fuse and cleanfire??? Maybe we see you on the other side?? :div20: You are welcome :beerchug:

 

[Tromso]

Maybe this is the pic some of you need? :div20:

My thoughts exactly!

Listen, if you can't find the ingenuity necessary to properly stow your belt or solve a simple problem like how to stow the rest of your gear before spending 8 to 10k on a sled....perhaps you are in the wrong sport?

I hear toboganning is much cheaper and there's plenty of room for your gear and your buddies! :banana:

As for the constant parade of doo & cat owners over here offering their unsolicited opinions....I find it interesting that I have just about enough time to keep up with the poo pages in my spare time. I guess these guys have a lot more down time that they convert into cruising pages where they have little constructive input to offer. Such a shame.......
