I put new tires on '01 X1. When adjusting the belt, I set the tightness where the lower strand of the belt hits the bottom of the swing arm and the top strand hits the top of the swing arm. Then had someone sit on the bike and the tightness distance remained the same. Is this correct or did I set it wrong? | ||

"Scary loose" is the rule of thumb. If someone sat on the bike, the geometry would have had to change, at least a little, and the tension of the belt would have increased slightly. I ran my M2 for 14 years with the belt able to touch the swingarm, no issues. Kilroy |
