What is the correct way to fit cambelts?
I have heard the Allen key method discussed for checking tension, how is this done?
I have used the 45deg twist method but would like to know if there is a a different method to do a double check?
What is the preferred method for turning the engine over to align the timing marks ?

A. Turning over the engine.
Put the bike on a paddock stand or axle stands with the rear wheel off the ground. Remove the spark plugs. place it in gear and turn the wheel by hand.
You can also turn over the engine with an 8mm bolt and nut. Screw the nut about 10mm down the bolt, screw the bolt into the end of the crankshaft ( the nut stops the bolt going in too far) and then turn it with a 13mm socket.
