#219413 kurtfriedrich (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 96 how many miles do you get between adj belt tension 2 Years, 5 Months ago   About how many miles do you get before you need to adjust the drive belt tension? Does it stretch more when the bike is new? How many miles before it need to be replaced? thanks Kurt   Logged     My go far bike: http://kurtfriedrich.googlepages.com/roadstar My go fast bike: http://sites.google.com/site/ducatifriedrich/kurt-friedrich-various-activities-for-2010/ducati- monster-1100s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #219417 TOPNOTCH (User) Git-R-Done Expert Boarder Posts: 556 Re:how many miles do you get between adj belt tension 2 Years, 5 Months ago   I just wait till it chirps a little on a quick backoff on the throttle then adjust it.   Logged     Christian American Heterosexual Pro-Gun Conservative...Any Questions???

I have 102k on stock belt. Only times I've had to adjust is when the dealer did not adjust properly when replacing tire.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #219425 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God.

Mine had started to chirp at 10k, so I just switched from a 33 tooth to a 31 tooth front drive pulley and got the tension just right upon adjustment for the new pulley. No noise.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #219547 TD1600 (User) Still Riding cause I can Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:how many miles do you get between adj belt tension 2 Years, 5 Months ago   I adjust mine when I change rear tires about every two years or twenty thousand miles,   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
