Hello first post here. I'm trying to change the drive belt on a 2013 DS I can't seem to budge the 10mm bolt. I read somewhere of a 2.5mm set screw but can't find it. Does anyone have an idea where it would be? The '13 has the 10mm alen bolt with the 24mm nut on the inside unlike the '14.
Thanks for the help!

You're right that the wiki doesn't make that easy to find.

Here's the info:

I'll try to make sure it can be found somehow via the swingarm section.

You are correct that the set screw is very difficult to find. It is located in one of the sides of the 24mm hex nut, perpendicular to the long axis of the 10mm allen bolts. It is actually on the edge of the nut. The best way to locate it is to use a small mirror and a strong flashlight. On mine the set screw was in the facet of the nut that was facing straight forward. Good luck!

Yes that's where I found the info about it having a set screw but no pictures. I'll try to find it tomorrow. Thanks!

And this bike has wrap on the frame which may be covering it.

I found it, exactly where you said it would be. Thanks, that would explain my issue!

Ok, belt changed and now it won't move under power. Wheel in the air, no problem, put it on the ground, it goes an inch and cuts out. Double checked belt tension all good. I'm scratching my head..
