Author Message   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 06:25 pm:        Just before Christmas, I did a major service (15K) on my bike that included a new belt. It was a blue dyed biatch to get on and seemed to be extremely tight. I got a Free Spirits tensioner from Matt at Adenaline-Moto...what a fine piece it is. Made a noticeable difference in how much easier the bike rolls... Thanks Matt!   Gunut75 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 08:38 pm:        I'm still debating on one. I put a new belt on my 12R before the swingarm change, and thought the tension was reasonable. I use a Uly belt now, and will get a new one to put on before spring. If it's too tight, I'll come up with something. I have never heard of someone breaking a belt with one of those on.........

I think the tensioner is the coolest thing ever. I'm still trying to figure out a intersting way to mount on on my s1, if I can ever get my hands on a roller to see how to mount it.   Glitch Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 06:25 pm:        Foximus, let me check, I may have one lying around. If I remember though, you'd need to put a new bearing in it. It's an easy fix with a common bearing. If I still have it, it's your's.   Foximus Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 08:32 pm:        aw thanks glitch. Thats killer of you. I'm assuming you dont have a spare stock mounting bracket as well?   Foximus Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 08:32 pm:        in return let me know if you need any powdercoating or carbon work..   Glitch Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 10:34 pm:        Yeah, if by mounting bracket you mean what the idle wheel is attached to. This is what I've been told is out in the garage, not black though.   Foximus Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 10:58 pm:        awesome! perfect. I dont care what color. I'm going to annodize it gold anyway... =]   Fast1075 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011 - 10:44 am:        Went for my first long-ish ride since I installed it...it has definately reduced the drag from the belt some....and it has "softened" the off throttle transition some...a positive thing in my view.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 - 07:28 am:        Sorry Fox, the pulley can not be found. If I do run across it, I'll send it to you asap   Foximus Posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 - 03:13 pm:        Aww... too bad. But that would be great!
