Title: Belt tension ?
Post by: RonB on October 03, 2014, 01:46:33 PM
Doing my first belt change. The vid says th set the tension the following way. You want a 5mm hex to be able to slide by the tensioner wheel and a 6mm not to.

Is that acceptable?

I don't believe that spec works for a 1000 motor

Why would it be different for a 1000 motor?  I thought all the 2 valve motors were the same.

PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy of DucatiDiag belt tension software. Best tension software I've used.

Tell the belt to take ten deep breaths.  It will help it to relax a bit.   [thumbsup]
