#5196 Flatpockets (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 37 Belt tension 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Hello all. was riding last Saturday and got in 480 miles and my riding buddy made a comment that my belt was jumping up and down and he had never seen it do that before. Of course he would notice it because he is ridind a Harley Dyna Glide and it is usually behind me. Just wondering if I should have it looked at, am getting it tuned up May 6th.

I it twists more than about 45 degrees then it may be too loose. You can buy a belt guage from HD (or use your buddies). I doubt that it too loose as you probably would be complaining about a chirping noise when you back off the throttle.

Mine did it soooo bad, I thought the tranny was blowing up on me. You know after the recall and all. If it isn't making noise, I would not worry, too much. <br><br>Post edited by: ROTOPILOT, at: 2006/04/25 23:35   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
