Now the question, from the photos is this enough to be one tooth out or is this due to the old belts having stretched or something else? In advace I would like to say thank you all!

Timing marks
Hi guys, this is my first time doing major work on my wing and I would appreciate a little advice from the members.i have just taken the covers off the timing belts and turned the motor over and lined up the 1.2 T/F mRk on the crankshaft pulley, and I notice that the camshaft pulley marks are not in exact alignment.

Re: Timing marks
Are you planning on new belts? I would since you are already there. Regardless, it is not uncommon to be off a half tooth.

Re: Timing marks
Thanks Andy! Yes I have installed new timing belts!
I have been riding this since 2012 and I do not have any idea how old they are. Guess I have been lucky!
