Testers
Warning
Timing belt tension could decrease in time as a result of normal wear and tear. When checking belt tension, restore
specified nominal values (Sect. C 1.1, Timing/valves) or in any case set tension to at least 80% of nominal values
when reading is below 70 Hz.
Should the tension be incorrect, tension or slacken the belt by turning screws (24) and (25) securing the mobile
tensioner rollers.
Lift the mobile tensioner (26) by hand to stretch the timing belt or lower down to slacken.
Note
If the crankcase has been removed from the frame, turn screw (24) using the suitable tool (27) and position tool
pusher (U) on the tensioner.
Caution
Turn the pusher (U) counter clockwise to stretch the belt or clockwise to slacken.
Take belt tension value once again.
Repeat until reaching the specified tension value.
Once desired tension is set, tighten the screws (24) and (25) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3,
settings).
