    Default KRIKIT 11

    Got one of these krikit tools. Question is what should the number be for proper tension on a 2014 RT-S ? I'm getting 180-200

    If you are careful and do it correctly, you will get the exact same reading every time.

    Default Well....

    As seen here you are in the range. Losts of different readings and thoughts but as Mike stated loose is better than too tight. Different models and years have differnt spec's so you need to be careful with suggestions. If you check it after the dealer adjusts it (using that $800.00 sonic tester) you can see what your krikit reads and go from there....

    Default Krikit

    Mine reads 180 on the ground. I now have 9,800 miles and it reads the same every time.
