So today I will re-tension them and try again.
Gasa, I don't ever want to see that in my engine.
Dukedesmo, I did strech them to 6 years before changing them but I'm not sure I would go to 10.
Did you measure each belt at their own tdc. If not they will be different. Honestly I prefer a 4v belt change to a 2v unless it's a hypermotard 950.
