 thread at the BurgmanUSA forum just goes to prove you need to be very diligent 
about changing the CVT Primary Stop Bolt. Depending on your riding style, this 
bolt can become very scared at as little as around 6000 miles.<br><br>I use 
Amsoil synthetic lubricants throughout on my Burgman 650. I do a complete 
lubricant and filter change every 5000 miles. I also change the CVT Primary 
Stop Bolt at every lubricant change. I consider that cheap insurance against a 
possible catastrophic CVT/transmission failure. <br><br>Animal

      <p><div style="font-family: sans-serif;font-size: 16px;">DIY - CVT 
Primary Bolt Replacement <br><br>As wonderful as the CVT system is on the 
Burgman 650, it is nonetheless a very complex system which requires no 
maintenance for the life of the scoot. But as with any other mechanical 
systems, some parts are bound to fail sooner than later.<br><br>One of those 
parts happens to be a very inexpensive bolt, about $4.00, that holds the 
Primary Pulley on the CVT. There have been reports on a number of occasion of 
this bolt breaking and causing a complete catastrophic failure of the CVT 
system requiring a a rebuild with a huge bill that goes along with 
it.<br><br>There is a very good thread on BUSA that talks about the issue with 
more links to other sources: BUSA Thread.<br><br>I decided to replace the bolt 
on mine after 32k miles on the scoot just as a preventive / safety measures, I 
am not sure what its long term effect might be in terms of extending the life 
of the CVT system but it couldn't hurt either.<br><br>Replacing the bolt is 
extremely easy to do and usually takes about 5-10 minutes, it doesn't require 
removal of any kind of tupperware either. However, if you are doing your CVT 
filter maintenance, that would be a good time to tackle the upgrade/replacement 
task.<br><br>You will need a new bolt for the job which you can order from any 
parts department at any Suzuki dealership or from any online OEM parts vendor. 
There seems to have been an upgrade for the bolt part # which superseeds the 
old one which you can find below in the parts table.<br><br>I ordered mine from 
a local dealership and they were back ordered at the time but they did 
eventually arrive two weeks later, cost was $3.90 each.<br><br>You will need a 
torque wrench for the job as the bolt will have to be tightened to 26 lbs-ft, 
try not to guess estimate it on this one as it is a pretty important bolt 
despite its rather innocuous look.<br><br>I was a bit apprehensive about doing 
this upgrade since I really don't like to mess with perfectly working systems, 
however after reading enough abou it and learning from others who had proceeded 
me by making the swap, it seems that you can't do anything that would alter the 
proper operation of the CVT system.<br><br>Below you will find simple step by 
step instructions that will walk you through the procedure, along with a tools 
list and an accompanying video to help you familiarize yourself with the 
procedure before attempting it:<br><br>&#8226;&#8226; Tools List<br><br>&#8226;

&gt; Sounds like the Ol’ STOP BOLT trick.  A $5 part will prevent a 
$2,500-$3,000 repair if replaced soon enough.  Check this and other forums 
(BurgmanUSA).  Search on “Stop bolt”.<br>
