Title: 1000DS, Belt offset from roller, question. Post by: colin748916 on March 27, 2009, 01:25:37 AM I have just changed the toothed belts on my 2006 S2R1000 and when rotating the belts keep wandering outwards and finally line up with their outer edges 1-2mm off the edges of the cam rollers. This can't be ok, can it? The drive rollers are correctly mounted but not yet fully torqued, what can be wrong?

And- how did you set tension? Title: Re: 1000DS, Belt offset from roller, question. Post by: colin748916 on March 27, 2009, 01:16:19 PM how did you set tension? Both belts are still a bit slack as I copied the tension of the old belts by meassure. One was very tight, the other fit the 5mm Allen. I plan to trailer the short way to my dealer and have them set the correct tension. But first I would like to see the belts track correctly, I will set the tension to the specified 140Hz and see if that helps. Title: Re: 1000DS, Belt offset from roller, question.

There are un-official opinions that belts that tight also cause pulley bearing failures. Check with your dealer and see what they use. mitt |
