2012 DS Belt Replacement
« on: October 02, 2013, 08:25:07 AM »
Hello,
   Could you kind folks walk me through replacing a belt on a 2012 DS.  Looks like I have to pull the swingarm.  Am I seeing this right?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hello,

Yes you need to pull the swing arm. I suggest to install the motorcycle on a step like that or something that can lift it to have the wheels above the ground:


Than remove the two big bolt that hold the swing arm ( not necessary to remove the rear shock or motor) pay attention to remove the little set screw that block the nut of the big bolt !!

Should take about 1-2h
