    Default Top and bottom belt tensioner

    Has anyone tried to mount both a top and bottom belt tensioner on the F3? [ I am asking about the ones that take out the belt vibration. It would seem to me that the belt would be vibrating on both the top and bottom.] thanks for your info

It is jacked up off the floor and I'm turning the set bolts, it just won't go any more to the right. HELP !!!!!!

    Why?
    You only need one. Why make it more difficult than it needs to be?

    If the tension is correct, turn 1/4 turn on the left clockwise and turn the right 1/4 turn counterclockwise. I tap the nut with a plastic dead blow hammer to seat it on that side, then lock it down. Go ryde it a short distance and return.
    Make sure you pull in straight and no backing up. Backing up will throw it off and be inaccurate. See if it is tracking better. Continue with the above until you get it 2-5mm's off of the inner shoulder of the sprocket. If you get close,you can do 1/8th or even 1/16th turns. The main point is if it is off to the left, loosen the right side and add to the left side.
    Remember; small corrections or it will be off too far the other way. Test ryde after each adjustment.
