Just left the ASK Powersports store--one of 3 in the greater Columbus, OH area. I went there to have a "Recall" frame stiffener installed. Upon leaving I asked Ed--the head Tech manager for the 3 locations--what # tension are you currently setting the drive belt. Ed said--he didn't know as currently they are using a "Decibel Meter to set the tension on the Spyder's, Ed said Yamaha has also gone to the decibel method as too much tension damages the output shaft. Unfortunately I was on my way out the door after the "recall mod installation" & Ed was busy with a few other customers or I would have had him do the "decibel method" on my F3's.
Hmmm--brings to mind no problem was ever resolved without a complaint at a few of my prior employers--IBM, Xerox. & Intel.--why would they change the method of setting the belt tension?? Various Spyders may have different requirements??.
Thus so for you anti-whiners---my advice would be to join the US Army--& upon completion of your term & Separation/Initial Discharge at the Oakland, CA center--let the anti-war protesters spit & throw urine on you similiar to my experience. Come to think of it--some of the urine did have a reprocessed wine odor. You'll need to bring your own cheese.:yes:
