Remove the top hose and fan cowl, and the fan if you want for ease of getting in. then the belt cover will be easy to get to, its held on with two clips and about 3 bolts. Line all the timing marks up and then remove the tensioner, then the belt.

Compress the tensioner in a vice or press till the holes line up, then insert a small drill bit or allen key to hold it closed, then you can check the tensioner pulley for wear in the bearings and install a new belt, line it up and pull the pin out of the tensioner.

Then crank the motor over a couple of times by hand and check the marks still line up, and then bolt it back together and go down the pub.
