I realise you more experienced mechanics will be giving a large "sigh", but if you dont ask you dont know!!
When fitting a new alternator belt and manually turning the engine, should the engine be in gear or in neutral?
I have googled some varying techniques to carryout this task and some people say to remove spark plugs to make turning easier on the compression stroke, one guy makes it look easy just turning the pulley nut with a spanner, Im sure I read somewhere to have the motorcycle in 6th gear....ultimately I am unsure!!!
your advice will be appreciated.
