Cambelt Installation 2010 1100ds Hyper ...

  1. Ok so ive read the installation you do when fitting new belt esp the tightening. Now people use a 6 & 5mm allen keys as a guide in between the idler rollers ...

    Surely the belt is not tight when doing this as in its not like turning the belt 90 degrees when doing a car cambelt .... the old belts on there ATM are loose ... surely thats not right ???

    Is there a app you can down load that uses frequency or sound of the belt pinging ?
     
  2. You can use the gates carbon drive app to measure belt tension, it’s free
     
  3. Belts are loose(ish) on a cold engine, you can almost slide the belt off the front pulley when at correct cold tension.
     
  4. I dint have much success with the aps so resorted to the allen key method, done belts twice no problems.

  5. I was sceptical but that gates app worked out the same as the proper texa reader
