Belt Tension - anyone know the distance between sprockets? '22 F3
Does anyone know the distance between my sprockets on my 2022 F3L. I mean from center of sprocket to center of sprocket?

I don't know why you want that info but a measurement tape is your friend.

Several years ago, on my 2018F3 Ltd's L/H side swing arm, I marked the center of the belt's span for using a Krikit to measure belt tension. To the left in the photo you can see the "ter" part of "center".

It is not necessary to get right in the center of the Spyder belt to measure tension with the Krikit gauge. A few inches either side of center will work just as well. With a shorter belt, center would be more critical. But we have very long belts and you will get the same value as long as you are reasonably close.

Like others, why, is it to place the Krikit?
If one of your spare fingers gets burned on the pipe, well ya in the right place.

It would vary depending on the amount of stretch in the belt. If it was 2000mm between pulleys with a new belt and it stretched 2% the new distance would be 2040

Apparently no one knows, or don't want to say, but regardless, thx for viewing..,
The reason I wanted to know, my tool requires this distance in order to calculate, 1/64 per inch of the belt center to center to calculate the proper tension.

What are you using for a tool?? And like said above lying flat on the floor with a tape measure should give you a easy answer. Sorry!!!

Sounds like a complicated way to assess belt tension. I don't know the distance because it has never mattered. I suspect this is why no one else knows either. If a distance of 1/64" makes a difference. It's going to take a very accurate measurement to get your tension gauge to read correctly. And there isn't a set value. At 1/64". I'd say just about everyone's center to center pulley distance is going to be a few, if not several, 64ths different. In this case. You will need to measure your particular distance.
For about $20.00, the Krikit II gauge might be an easier way to go.
