I dont have a belt tenioning tool (yet) My belt is tighter than a virgins....
anyway I can pull with all my strength up an it dont move, much more than 10 pounds. Any suggestions,is that normal tight? l.ray

 

l.ray, Did I miss something? Did you get your bike back, or is this another one?

 

sounds too tight

 

Yes! 2 in jail, they did not have time to do much damange. Cosmetics , worst dented tank. best part scum chit in jail + Geico really treated me good. The adjuster was a biker heh! I am going to post the whole deal when I can thanks

 

Thanks I think its way to tight. l.ray

 

Man, that's good news. Can't wait to hear the whole story. Oh,and the belt sounds like it is a little tight. 10lbs of force and you should get 1/4 - 5/16 inch deflection

 

Yes too tight, easy to adjust. Need about .250" to .375".

 

+1 OR
Ditto OR
What he said.

 

Going to loosen that sucker this morn, soon as I have my joe an cigar
Thanks guys, one area I just never thought about. It making noise in the Pri. Hope thats due to the belt l.ray

 

If your belt is too tight you don't need a belt tensioning tool, you need a treadmill...duh.
