I still make an effort to steer newbies here but I feel as the site is open most seem to just use it and not join, or join and say nothing. A different age group of owners I think.

Mate who knows, I do remember that on a hot interstate ride many years ago I checked the belt tension and it was like a steel guitar string, this after a new rear tyre had been fitted at my dealer ( still under warranty then) , from then on I have let it run looser, approx 20mm. I rarely even put the gauge on it now, just check it like a chain.  |

Yep I do the same thing no problems with squeaking or excessive belt wear, I have the first model 1600 new in very late 2009 with 86000 on the clock.
and still running the original carrier and bearings, just checked mine and still like new.
