my idler wheels have been whining a bit in cold weather and it seems as though the timing belts are singing a little more...   going to do the generic idler mod #1 and belts, 97K so might as well. can anyone SHARE a link to the timing belt process?  I used to have one saved where someone did an awesome write up  and diagrams but I can't find it.
          Thanks in advance- Mike

At 97k, there’re due. They might look ok, but inside they might be deteriorating. A change of tensioner is recommended since it’s apart
Here’s a link:
http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,56195.0.html
Also YouTube has quite a few videos for reviews. Gl 1500 and Valk are identical.
Gates T275 belts are cheaper than OEM.

Thanks Seth, I've got the tensioner plans, it's the BASIC timing belt documentation
I'm looking for.

Here's a couple of links I've saved. Have not tried either one.

This is the document I have found some time ago and saved. Maybe it does help.

there are holes on the back of the pulley support plates which allow adding grease to them under the seal with a needle fitting. try 1/4 pump of grease gun, then spin them and listen to them.
