Belt Tension Measurement Procedure

1. Safely elevate and support the motorcycle with

the rear tire 1-2 inches off the floor (see

page 200).

2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Rotate the rear wheel in a forward direction until

the valve stem is at the bottom. This is your

reference point for determining the tight spot to

make your adjustment (if necessary).

4. Position the small O-ring on the tension gauge

directly over the 10 lbs. mark on the plunger as

shown in Fig. 1 on page 147.

5. Place a tape measure or steel rule next to the

drive belt as shown in Fig.2, at a position mid-

way between the sprockets. Support the rule or

tape so it does not move from this position.
