    Default Belt tension

    Anyone know what the belt tension is supposed to be on a 1330? My belt is slightly misaligned, and as long as I'm aligning it I want to set the tension correctly, but the specs aren't in the owners manual. (I've got a tension gauge).

    Thanks!

    Yikes! I thought mine was a bit loose just judging by the amount of vibrations, so I checked it with a criket and it's only 140! I guess it's time for a little wrenching. Thanks much for the reply!!

    Default Do the belt tension the correct way.

    If you have a Apply device you can set the tension the correct way. See the post I did http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...and-Ipod-touch

    The kriket is used to verify the belt tension after it has been set by the dealer. From my experiments it is not accurate enough to set the belt tension correctly.

    Awesome! I have an iphone, ipad, & ipod touch. I'll do it the right way and check it with the criket when I'm done.
    Thanks, Doc!
