| Post subject: | A tip for setting correct tension on timing belt? |
I found details of a guy (from the internet) who uses allen keys to set the correct tension on timing belts. Having removed all covers; He writes, "While holding the slack out of the belt, the next step is to insert your 5mm allen wrench between the belt and the fixed roller. It should feel like a feeler gauge does- SLIGHTLY snug." Note: This is described as general maintenence for dukes. Additionally, its recommend a 6mm allen for the vertical cylinder. (As heat expansion calls for extra slack). Can we use this method for our Pasos? :confused: I think this could be a great tip for amateur engineers (like me.) If anyone is interested in this method: I would recommend visiting the sight first (as other essential details are noted). See http://www.ducatisuite.com/ It’s a great site, and gives detailed articles with pics for maintenance on every level. From easy (1 tick) to difficult (5 ticks). |

This is the correct info and I use 5MM for both belts. Lance has put together a very useful site. |
