My 2015 icon is nearing 2k ( i know, i know blame the previous owner). The timing belts are due to be replaced at 60 months according to the manual. Will i need the special Hz tool to tension or is there another way? I also need a chain advice, what type and length please. Also, with regards to spark plugs, which ones and how many do i need? Thanks
The easiest way to tension the belts is with an app on your phone. I have good results with the Gates Carbon Drive app, available for both Android and iOS. The chain is a 520 and length is 104 links, although if you are thinking of changing to a 44t rear sprocket 102 links would be better as it gets very near to the end of it's adjustment. You need 2 spark plugs - NGK DCPR8E
Get one of these chains before they sell out, great value at £48 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/283541865331
I don't need a chain yet but I bought one last night, I couldn't not at that price and it will be there when I need it, probably next summer. Thanks for the link.
Yes it was so much cheaper than the usual price I was concerned it could be a fake, but mine arrived and it’s clearly a genuine DID, comes with split link and solid link, I don’t have a rivet tool so it’s ideal for me to fit it with the split link and ride to Cornerspeed for Neil to fit the solid link for me.
