s2r1000 belt change mishap

[Armor]

I have rented that frequency meter (ducati tool rental) and it works good.  I talked to the guy who makes that meter and the verticle cylinder on the DS motor, the wall is very close to the belt and there is some feedback that interferes with the reading.  I've tried tuner programs with a computer and the verticle cylinder is almost impossible to get a consistent reading.  I tried several mic's without success.

The idler/tensioner pulleys are in different locations than the older bikes which changes things.

Once tensioned you could check with an allen and figure out what size to use, but it's not a 5.

Worked fine for me - maybe I was just lucky

The Lt. Synder's manual states the same, you need a differnt size allen for the vertical.

I've used the allen method on my S2R1000. I believe I went one size looser on the vert... 4-5 or 5-6, something like that.
