So, let's see if I've got that correct.
Remove, three bolts, give front of pulley a tug? with something suitable
and off it comes? Belt and associated washers will come off.
Fiddle with washers line up front of pulley and screw in bolts in same holes.
Let's assume for a moment (I have been having trouble since I bought the
bike with smooth running at the appointed timing marks)
Let's assume po fucked up.
Put left cylinder at TDC on compression stroke (when intake valve closes)
fart with pulley to get the TDC mark on rear pulley lined up (first mark on
left)
without moving engine, put pulley on and tighten screws without moving
anything else.
Time the bike.
Yes?

That would be the right answer Z. Just remove the 3 small bolts and adjust
the washers for correct tension. Just be careful about not removing the rear
part of the pulley and screwing up the location of your timing marks.

Probably already answered....

Yes.

To be more clear...
the BAN (big assed nut) does not need to come off to swap washers in and out
to adjust belt tension. Just the 3 small bolts. The only time the BAN needs
to come off is to remove the flange that the pully is bolted to. No
necessary unless you want to remove the timing gear cover.


 After my years with BMW manuals I find the Eldo shop manual a bit sparse in
places.
I'd like to know if I can pull the front of the pulley and generator belt
to adjust washers and stuff without removing tank, loossening generator and
taking the belt off that way first.
Can someone walk me through the steps please.
I assume loosening the crank nut involves having the bike in first gear,
someone'
s foot on the brake and a fairly healthy sized extension to a breaker bar.
Can I then just remove the three nuts on the pulley and use a puller to get
it off.
Can I replace the pulley in reverse with it still being on the generator
pulley.
Thanks folks.
