Hi,
Just replaced the cambelts on my 888 and on turning the engine over manually to make sure the timing marks are aligned, the belts both run towards the back of the tensioner pulley very close to the barrel.

I've checked the tensioner bearings which are ok and the belt runs true on the idler and the toothed pulleys.

I am turning the engine over clutch anticlockwise, which I presume is correct. The only thing that seems odd is that the face (where the back of the belts touch) of the tensioner pulleys is curved slightly as are the idlers.

What am I missing??
