Belt Change: Need Some Help

[illegalseafood]

I posted this over on NEDOC as well, but figured the more the merrier! ;D

I've hit the two year mark on my belts and am looking into changing them out. I'm going to attempt the change myself to save some cash and get a little learning experience in at the same time, however I have neither a torque wrench or the other wrench to manually turn the motor over.

Anybody in the general Boston area with some belt changin' experience willing to help a fellow ducatisti out with some tools and a look over my shoulder in case I need a helping hand?

P.S. This is a for an 05 M620.



EDIT: I was just reminded that I forgot to mention the beer is on me

I actually have a second home in Moultonborough so it is quite possible. I've talked to someone local about helping but if the schedules don't work out you'll certainly be hearing from me.

thanks,

you dont need anything to turn over the motor, put the bike in gear and spin the rear wheel, as for a torque wrench it is encouraged to use one but it not neccessary, the torque specs required to tighten down the important stuff is no more than hand tight.

aside from that I cant help, spend some money go buy a torque wrench at sears unless your name brand whore like me and have to have MAC stuff
