First oil change / belt alignment?

[shelbydave]

I'm doing my first oil change attempt, and all is going well. No stripped threads, no issues what so ever. I did notice though that the belt seems to be riding on the outside edge of the front sprocket. When I look at the back sprocket, it is riding just about right - maybe a little close to the inside, but there is still the 1mm minimum gap. Is this something I should be worried about? And if so, how would that get addressed when the back seems to be running close to the wheel, but the front is running close to the outside (opposite) side of the sprocket?

If you are worried then take it to the dealer and get it check.

That's what the forum is for... I'm not worried, just asking. I'd also place more credibility with some of the folks on here, than most dealers.

You cannot control where the belt rides on the front sprocket. If the back is in proper adjustment, don't worry about it.

Perfect! Thanks!

After a trip to Harbor Freight Tools for my inch pound torque wrench, and a set of hex drivers to fit, I can report a successful first oil change... :yes::yes::yes:
