Posted my intro elsewhere just yesterday. I have a manual for the bike though it seems to be more generically for the roadsters, but no matter. I'm going to want to give the bike a good once over and service before I go far on it.

I'll change the cam belt whilst I'm about it. I see I need a special tool to get to it. Is that something that I can make or am I going to have to splash some cash?

I note that I need a specific cam belt according to a letter inscribed on one of the pulleys. Really? Can I see that before reaching for the special tool?

I don't want to turn this into another oil thread, but I note that 20/50 is recommended on these engines - and that they don't have a proper oil filter. I'm thinking the engine runs solid lifters - so any 20/50 with a high ZDDP content should do, right?

Flywheel puller is less than £10 from NLM.

If you have a 'B' cam pulley, then an ungraded belt should fit fine. Cambelt change videos up on my Youtube channel.

Original oil specification was 10/50 or Castrol RS full synthetic (with a longer service interval). Late handbooks say Sint Agip 2000 - 10/40 Semi synthetic.

I prefer to use a home made holding tool on the rotor whilst loosening the nut but you can often get by without.

Aha - Pulley is indeed a 'B'. Thanks.
