I bought my second BMW a month or so ago, a 2007 R1200GS, and am new to the forum.
I am getting ready to do the 24k service on the bike and apparently need to change the alternator belt. My manual says I need a special tool to do this.
Has anyone here done this either with or without the tool? Do I really need this tool?
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Changing alternator belt....tool needed?
If you look online there are some demonstrations of doing it with careful use of a screwdriver. Basically you walk the belt onto the lower pulley.
