Drive Belt Tension Inspection

1. Elevate and support the motorcycle with the rear tire

slightly off the floor.

CAUTION! Make sure the motorcycle is stable when elevated.

Injury may occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.

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.

5. Place a tape measure or steel rule next to the drive belt, mid-way between the sprockets.

Support the rule or tape so it does not move.
