Good day all, I will be doing my first belt change on the 916 this winter, has anyone got a good youtube video to watch, that will help me along the way? Cheers Jamie
It’s a while since I have watched that but I’m not certain he tells you to remove both spark plugs before starting the belts. No way you could turn the engine over on the wheel without doing that first.
I did mine myself for the first time a couple of years ago, pretty straightforward really, as stated above remove both spark plugs ,put it in gear and use the rear wheel to line the pulleys up. Just dont forget to put the bike back in neutral after fitting the new belts and starting the bike...i forgot and started the bike in gear and almost had a heart attack, i thought the engine had detonated!
