Timing Belt Replacement

I'm contemplating doing the timing belts myself on my S2R 1000 as I consider myself pretty handy. I've been watching videos and reading 'how-tos' and it seems really easy. Almost too easy. Am I missing anything that could crop up and surprise me, any tips or advice anyone can share?

It's pretty simple. After I do mine I roll the engine over a few times using the back wheel to make sure the marks still line up and that I have no mechanical interference. Make sure you don't overtighten the belts as they really do get quite a bit tighter on a warm engine. Double check that your tensioner bolts are tight.
