Rant, complaint, bitch and moan, whatever you want to call it. I love my Diavel. I swear I'll never sell it. Until today when I was about ready to pull the trigger on all the parts to do the 36,000 mile maintenance (valves, timing belt, spark plugs, coolant flush, oil change, $1000 in all), and I find out the rear hub is probably toast. I can do it myself, but the hub costs $979 by itself and is not serviceable.

I just sold a motorcycle that barely got ridden that will cover the lions share of it all, but dammit I was looking forward to having the safety net.

I'll probably never sell it, but it's tempting on nights like tonight. $2000 in DIY maintenance costs on a bike worth $6000 or so.

I'm about to order the parts to do the valve and timing belt maintenance on my 2015 Diavel. For those who have done it before, what special tools were needed beyond what I probably already have in my toolbox? I know I'll need a stop of some sort to keep the timing from moving while the belt is off, and there's a tool to add tension? If anybody has those two specific tool names (links appreciated as well, doesn't have to be OEM but I plan on doing the maintenance again so something that will last more than once) and any other specialty tool I'll need to complete the maintenance, I'd appreciate it.
