I've never touched the timing chain. The primary takes about 10 minutes. Open the inspection port. Turn the bolt under the primary cover until the proper slack is attained. Tighten the locking bolt, replace the cover.

To adjust the clutch, you take all tension out of the cable, open the cover (three screws). Take out the spring, tighten the flathead screw until it seats, then back it off two turns, replace the spring, replace the cover, adjust the cable tension. This one takes about 15 minutes.

Replacing the rear wheel? Fuck alignment. Tighten the axel to 40 something foot lbs, back off two turns, retighten to 48 (52?)lbs and then tighten the axel retaining screw.

It's ridiculously easy to work on.


However, one big misconception about the belt. It doesn't last forever. It just doesn't have a service interval. I wore one out in about 12000 miles. And they're quite expensive...
