You may be confused by the link posted by Darren as it shows four small locking pins (OEM 88713.2009) rather than the two larger ones described by slob at #2 (OEM 88713.2282).

As you've got the 800 motor, Darren's pins are the ones for your model; the larger pins are for the S2R 1000 and later models.

In case you're wondering where the pins go, they are shown in this service manual extract.



As has been mentioned previously, the pins aren't essential - if you do without them, just make sure you mark up the cam pulleys clearly and rotate the vertical cylinder to TDC power when checking that belt's tension.

Presumably this would affect the result according to whether you plucked a longer or shorter belt run ....??
Utopia, you're correct in assuming that the belt frequency should be checked at specific points. Those "plucking points" are also shown on this page.
