I know this has been covered in past threads, and I have read several, but I'm still somewhat confused about the procedure for measuring the belt tension with the Krikit II from NAPA. Sorry if this is redundant.

Should the rear wheel be off the ground, as in the procedure with the BRP gauge, or on the ground? Should the Krikit II be placed midway between the sprockets or elsewhere?

I do understand that the measurements will be different with the Kirkit II compared to the BRP gauge so the normal tension figures published by BRP can't be used, but what would the normal range be as determined by the Krikit II (I can't use a reading done after the dealer sets the tension because I have not had a dealer do this)?

I'm getting 140 lb. with the wheel off the ground, 160 lb. on the ground, measurement done about midway between sprokets (opposite passenger footpeg). The belt does rotate almost exaclty 90 degrees at that position as has been suggested. Is this in the ballpark?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike
