sorry, just one quickie about the adjustment....

am I right in thinking that if bank 1/2 needs advancing I turn the eccentric idler 30mm nut on the upper idler anti clockwise.... and if it needs retarding I turn it clockwise?

and then bank 3/4.... I turn the nut on the lower idler clockwise to advance and anti clockwise to retard?

cheers boys  :y

When fitting, set idlers at loosest point. Set 3/4 up first, by adjusting lower idler, rotating in direction of arrow. Then once 3/4 is OK, do 1/2 by doing top idler. Then do tensioner.

I thought you had the DVD?
