How do you replace the drive belt on a kawasaki mule 2510?

Answer 1

You need a special tool from Kawasaki to hold the drive pulley. The Kawasaki part number for the tool is 57001-1520. After you remove the convertor cover. You remove the drive pulley by bolting the tool on the three upper bolts then take off the drive pulley nut (left hand threads). Once the pulley is off take the belt off the driven pulley then you can reinstall the new belt. You also have to check the belt deflection. Put a straight edge from the belt on the drive pulley to the belt on the driven pulley. Using a ruller push down on the belt. The deflection should be no more than 1". If it is I would take the ATV to a Kawasaki dealer. They will need to add or subtract springs and shims from the drive pulley. If the old belt has never been change you might be OK by just replacing it. I have not tried to take the drive pulley off without using the special tool from kawasaki. The best thing you can do is go to RepairManuals.com and look up a KVF650 2003, you can buy the OEM repair manual for $60.00 plus about $6.00 shipping. It has saved me a lot of money.
