I'm going to replace the belts on my S4R this evening, August 4.  Anyone want to watch/assist?

Also, my Boom Tubes should arrive on Thursday...

I'd love to come give you a hand with it, but I'll be out of town.

Now I think I'll wait until my exhaust arrives and do the belts then.  Hopefully the weekend of August 1/2.

Well, new belts installed.  I used the MotoReva harmonic meter to read the belt tension.   ;D

I didn't start the bike, that will have to wait until tomorrow.  Hopefully, no bent valves will result.   [roll]

EDIT:  I started it yesterday, all is well.   ;D  I posted the procedure I followed in the Tutorials board.
