Warning
Check the tension on the belt runs (22) and (23) indicated in the figure.
The tension values are specified in Sect. C 1.1, Timing system/valves.
Warning
The timing belts can become slack during normal operation. When checking belt tension, if the reading is less than 70 Hz, restore
to the specified tension (Sect. C 1.1, Timing system/valves) or in any event, to not less than 80% of these values.
If the tension is incorrect, increase or reduce belt tension by loosening the nut (25) and moving the adjustable tensioner
pulley (24).
Tighten the nut (25) securing the tensioner pulley.
Re-check the timing belt tension.
Repeat the above procedure until the correct belt tension is obtained.
Once finished, tighten the nut (25) of the tensioner pulley (24) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings).
Position the crankshaft so that the piston of the vertical cylinder is at TDC of the power stroke (valve closed) and repeat the
procedure used for the horizontal cylinder, measuring the tension on section (22) of the vertical cylinder timing belt.
Remove the belt tension sensor and disconnect the DDS tester from the motorcycle.
