Rear wheel removal & drive belt tension spec

[spydertrike]

Hi
I have a 2012 RTS SE5.

I'm looking for a video with good detail showing how to remove the real wheel and how to re-install on the RTS.
Also need to know the tension spec for the drive belt. I'm thinking 160LBS but not sure.

Thank you

Take a look at this video Lamonster made in 2011 on an RS. It's pretty much the same for the RT.

The latest recommended numbers I have is from the 2013 service bulletin and is for 2012 and earlier models only!!! 450N +/- 150 = 100 lbf +/- 30

Might I suggest...

you are venturing into doing your own work and congrats to you...:clap:go and get a shop manual online (green manuals) and you will be able to do it all. Check you tube for videos there are several along with Lamonts RS mentioned above. Good luck, take your time its not that hard to do...:thumbup:
