I'd like to know as well; I suspect it to be why mine snapped.

I run about 1.5 to 2 inches play in mine, normal 1 up riding. Frank

Off the ground. I vary mine according to how much stuff I have on the bike. The more weight the more play in the belt. I learned this the hard way on my first Buell.

Thanks for that advise F_skinner, just adjusted the belt yesterday, what a improvment. can now lean into a corner with a bump and not get pulled sideways
