    Krikit??? Could somebody please enlighten me??
    I also think that I might have an alignment thing going on... The belt is over to the left; flush with the pulley.

    Over to the left or or to right??
    I set mine an 1/8 inch off the flange,[left] That eliminated most of the belt wine. But because of the way the belt sets up on the pulley '
    You must check it after you move the Spyder 10/15 feet forward in a strait line.
    Or jack up the rear wheel and spin the wheel forward by hand.

    Krikit is a belt tension gauge available from NAPA stores. No correlation to the BRP sonic gauge, however...yopu have to find your own base line setting.

    The belt tends to wander if turned into a space or backed in .
    If you can run it forward [strait] it should move back.
    It was explained to me by a guy who manufacturer's belts as to why this happens.
    Something about the direction of the cords in the belt

    You want the one without the flange, although you can file the flange off. I think it is the KR2, but I can't remember for sure. Can't get to the garage to look, until I do some more shoveling. We were spared the heaviest snow...Battle Creek only got a foot, but the drifts are mean.

    Why is the flange an unwanted thing?

    You want to measure in the centor of the (wide) belt. The flanged model prevents that. It is for V-belts.
