1100 Timing belt inspection

[STay froSTy]

I have question about the parts list for a timing belt inspection. My bike is 01' and from what I have seen in the thread searches is that I can reuse the timing belt cover gasket.

Are there other parts I am missing?

TIA

I re-used the gaskets on my '01, they looked new. I replaced my timing belt at 100,000 + without the 60,000 inspection. If I was going to inspect at 60,000, I believe I would spend the 90.00 and just replace the belt then rather than going in again at 90,000 miles. It's not all that much fun going in there. Everything is opened up, do a valve check at the same time.

Either way, look up John O's write up on ST-Riders for handy tips on belt cover triming and belt replacement.

Thanx Jim,

I will be doing both the valve adjustment and belt inspection. I have seen John O's report on his belt replacement.

Tanker,

It has been a rough year, the job almost disappeared and now the reverse too busy to ride!

Next time you are in the area you need to try Buckhorn Tavern down in San Antonio, NM. Better than Bobcat, IMHO.

Later!
