IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE....

When performing any motorcycle work such as installing a belt drive it should be securely fastened in
an upright positionwith easy access to the primary drive. If you are working with a lift, fasten the mo-
torcycle securely to prevent it from falling.Always disconnect BOTH battery cables when performing
the following installation.
2108-0012
STEP 1
Begin by disconnecting the battery cables. Remove all of the OEM primary drive components includ-
ing the inner primary cover, as well as the factory inner bearing race on the trans mainshaft. Check
for leaky seals. Check & tighten, if necessary, the shift lever. Should you wish to change the gearing,
now’s the time to install Primo’s billet aluminum rear drive pul¬ley. This pulley weighs 3 lbs. less than
the stock one. It’s available in 29, 30, 32 & 34-tooth sizes.

STEP 2
Take the front motor plate spacer (engine case to
motor plate) and place it over the alternator and up
against the engine case. Do not secure with bolts at
this time. Make certain that all holes are properly in-
dexed so that the spacer is properly aligned.

STEP 3
Apply a coating of Anti-Seize compound on the
transmission mainshaft to the area where the motor
plate bearing will come to rest. Make certain you do
this prior to installing the motor plate section.

STEP 4
At this time remove the mid-shift plug
and install the mid shift support with
three drops of blue thread locker. In-
stall if the center mount oil filter will be
used. (At this time, install the oil line
fittings (not supplied) on the rear of the
motorplate and the oil filter nipple on
the front middle of the motorplate (sup-
plied) only if you will be using a spin-on
center mount filter with this install).

STEP 5
The stock OE shifter shaft used a wave
washer to spring load the shaft. We use the
same method, however our wave washer is
larger.

You should now remove the OE washer

and install our wave washer onto the
shifter shaft.

STEP 6
Now it’s time to install the motor plate on the bike. Position
the motorplate plate over the Sprocket shaft and trans M/S
making sure that the shifter shaft is centered in the shaft
support and push forward until the motorplate is tight
against the motorcase spacer and the transmission. Make
certain all mounting holes are properly aligned.

STEP 7 Install the eccentric cams in the motorplate.

Note: The eccentric cams are

used on this belt drive because
the bolt pattern on the 1990-2000
Dyna® models is different from
the 2001-2005 Dyna® models.

Apply 3 drops of Blue threadlock to all seven mounting bolts. Install the 4 5/16 x 1.5” bolts in the front of the motorplate
first threading each bolt in until they seat equally up against the plate. Check that even contact is made front-to-back on
the motorplate rear surface. Proceed to tightening all 4 bolts equally. Now install the 3 eccentric cams into the rear of the
motorplate noting that the bottom cam is marked with a ‘B’. Align the cam holes to the threaded holes in the transmission
and then thread in the 3 5/16 x 2.250” bolts. This is what the mounted motor plate will look like to this point. Install oil filter
nipple if center-mount oil filter is being used.

STEP 8
Install the starter motor using the two 5/16-18 x 3-3/4” socket head cap screws.Place the starter to
the rear of the trans flange and slide the bolts through to the threads in the motor plate.
STEP 9
Install the front pulley, rear pulley without the belt. Place the washer on
the sprocket shaft, then thread the front pulley nut onto the shaft torque-
ing it to 150-165 Ft. Lbs. Next torque the transmission mainshaft nut 80-
90 Ft. LBs. Now check the alignment between front & rear pulleys and
correct, if necessary, by adding spacing behind the front pulley (Primo
sells these pulley shims in thicknesses of .020”, .030”, .050”, .075” and
.100”) slip the front pulley into the belt and onto the engine shaft. NEVER
space out the rear pulley.
Visually re-check your work to make sure all clearances appear correct.

STEP 10
At this point it’s time to address the starter jackshaft components which are included with the belt
drive kit (see last page for an exploded view of the starter mechanism).

Begin by installing the starter coupler onto the end of the starter motor. Then the remaining pieces . . .
the extender, spring, pinion gear, thrust washer, lockwasher and bolt. Insert this assembly into the
coupler. Make certain the lockwasher is correctly oriented to the slot in the extender. Tighten the bolt.
Bend the locking tab over to keep the bolt from vibrating loose.

STEP 11
After insuring correct alignment, remove the front and rear pulley. Re-Install the front pulley, rear pulley and belt at the
same time. Place the washer on the sprocket shaft, then hand thread the front pulley nut onto the shaft torqueing it to 150-
165 Ft. Lbs. Next apply 3 drops of blue thread locker, then hand thread the left hand nut onto the transmission mainshaft
and torque to 80-90 Ft. LBS. We recommend using a pnuematic impact driver to torque the front pulley nut.
STEP 12
Now begin assembling the
rear clutch basket. At this time
begin installing the clutch
plates in the same order as re-
ceived. The steel .120” thick
plate first. Then a fiber plate,
then steel and alternating until
all plates are inserted. The last
plate in is a steel plate.

STEP 13
Coat the threads of the Pro-Clutch studs
with Anti-Seize compound. This will pre-
vent the shouldered nuts from sticking to
the clutch hub stud threads during disas-
sembly. Install the clutch adjusting screw
into the press¬ure plate. Insert the pres-
sure plate (with the stamped “OUT” fac-
ing out) into the rear pulley, up against
the last steel plate previously installed in
STEP 8.

STEP 14
Prepare the diaphragm spring, the spring retainer, lock tabs and
shouldered nuts for installation. Remember, the beveled side of the
spring retainer faces in. In addition, the retainer has the word
“OUT” stamped on it. This side should face out. Tighten the shoul-
dered nuts equally until they bottom. Then tighten to 30 inch
pounds of torque. That’s 30 inch pounds, not foot pounds!

STEP 15
Now turn your attention to the starter nose cap.
This piece bolts to the motor plate and supports the
starter jackshaft assembly.
Looking at the inside of the cap you’ll notice a vent
hole on the top side. Check to make sure this hole
is unobstructured. It allows air to escape when the
starter is engaged.

STEP 16
Place the starter nose cover over the
protrud¬ing pinion gear and up against
the motor plate. Check to make sure
the holes line-up and the plate sits
squarely up against the mating sur-
face.
STEP 17
There are 3 mounting bolts used to attach
the nose cover. Coat each with 2 drops of
Blue threadlock and torque until secure.

STEP 18
At this time, adjust the Pro-Clutch ac-
cording to specifications. Re-check
until you are satisfied (see last page
for adjustment specs).
Finally, bend the lock tabs over against
a flat on the nuts. This will prevent the
nuts from coming loose.

STEP 19
Assemble the 4 stand-offs to the motor plate. These pieces will act
as the support for the outer guard. Begin by thread¬ing in each
stud into each stand-off using 3 drops of Red loctite.Thread them
into the stand-offs until they bottom (should be left with 3/4” ex-
posed). Now apply 3 drops of Red thread locker on the exposed
stud and thread each stand-off into a counterbored & threaded
hole on the motor plate. Tighten until they bottom-out on the plate.

STEP 20
Installing the outer belt guard together with its
stylish derby cover is next. (Prior to installing the
outer guard, install the oil filter if purchased sep-
arately). Position the guard up against the stand-
offs making sure that the shifter shaft support is
aligned with the hole and then check to make
certain all mounting holes properly line-up and
that the guard sits squarely up against the stand-
offs.

STEP 21
Coat the threads of the mounting bolts with
2 drops of Blue threadlock and tighten the
bolts with your Allen driver. Continue the
mating process by fastening all 4 bolts until
they have seated within the countersunk
holes in the outer guard.
STEP 22
Install the white Delrin plastic washer on the
outside of the guard onto the shifter shaft.

STEP 23
Install the shift lever onto the shifter shaft.

STEP 24
Install the foot peg and bracket to the frame.

PRO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

BRUTE IV EXTREME CLUTCH PACK HEIGHT= 1.410” - 1.430”
As delivered the Pro-Clutch clutch-pack requires no adjustment, the clutch pack height having been set at the factory. After
thePro-Clutch has accumulated significant mileage, it may require some adjustment due to normal wear. Use the procedures
out¬lined below if & when adjustment is required. For best all around performance the diaphragm spring should be com-
pressed to with¬in .010” of being flat when the shouldered spring retainer nuts have been properly tightened (bottomed)! This
provides best leveraction at the handlebar, & normal spring pressure to the clutch pack. Slightly more clutch pressure can be
gained with the diaphragm spring with .030” of spring height (outward bow), but this increases slightly the hand effort needed
for the clutch. This spring con¬figuration can be obtained by placing a small diameter washer on each of the clutch hub
studs, as shown in photo B! Three clutch spring strengths are available: A stock equivalent spring (black in color), a medium
spring for street performance applications (silver in color), & a competition spring (gold in color) recommended for drag race
only applications.
If the diaphragm spring adjustment requires a small If the diaphragm spring adjustment requires lessf spring
amount of more spring compression, this can be ac- compression, this can be accomplished by using one or
complished by using one or more of the special .020” more of the special .030” washers on on top of the clutch
washers on each odf the shouldered nuts (Photo A) hub stud nuts reducing spring compression. (Photo B)
