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.
