Checking Drive BeltsINFOID:0000000009460468
WARNING:
Inspect the drive belt only when the engine is stopped.
1. Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
2. Check that the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator is within the possible use range.
NOTE:
• When new drive belt is installed, the drive belt aut o-tensioner indicator should be within the new drive
belt range.
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator when the engine is cold.
3. If the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive
belt.
Tension AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009460469
Belt tension is not manually adjustable, it is aut omatically adjusted by the drive belt auto-tensioner.

• Perform this inspection as follows after removal, inst
allation, or replacement of the camshaft or any valve-
related parts, or if there are any unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance over time
(starting, idling, and/or noise).
1. Remove the fender protector side cover (RH). Refer to EXT-26, "FENDER PROTECTOR : Removal and
Installation".
2. Remove the rocker cover using power tool. Refer to EM-45, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise when viewed from front to align TDC identification mark (B) with timing indicator (A).
NOTE:
Do not confuse TDC mark (B) with paint marks (C).
4. At this time, check that the both intake and exhaust cam lobes of No. 1 cylinder face outside.
• If they do not face outside, turn crankshaft pulley once more.
5. Measure valve clearances with a feeler gauge at locations marked (X) in the table below.
• No.1 cylinder compression TDC.
