Before adjusting the final drive belt tension, the belt
must be over-tensioned to settle the engine position as
described below. Failure to do so may result in the drive
belt becoming loose when the motorcycle is first ridden.
Riding the motorcycle with a loose drive belt may result
in loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident, or
damage to the
drive belt or other motorcycle
components.
Note:
Over-tensioning of the drive belt is only
required when the engine or swinging arm has
been removed.

drive belt adjuster to

motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may
reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
