Removal Procedure
1. Remove the drive belt.
2. Remove the right front wheel.
Important: If the timing belt is to be removed, the crankshaft balancer must be rotated to position number 1 piston at Top Dead Center (TDC) of
compression stroke to avoid valve-to-piston contact.
3. Turn the crankshaft so its white mark (1) lines up with the pointer (2).
4. Inspect for cylinder number 1 piston at TDC. The pointer on the upper cover (2) will be aligned with the number 1 cylinder TDC mark (1) on the
camshaft pulley.
