• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Adjusting belt on 2012 RTS. My belt is tension is 190lbs on the ground. I’m good with that.
The belt is against the flange on the rear pulley. There is no wear on the belt or pulley, should I leave it alone or try to move the belt off the pulley the width of credit card?
I have looked at videos and read how to do the alignment. All have me really confused as to how to do right the first time. What video or steps did you use to make it simple, to do the alignment?
I’m thinking of just leaving it alone as it does not seem simple to make the alignment?

Easiest way to move it away just a little from the sprocket is loosen left adjuster side 1/8 turn and tighten right 1/8 turn. I use a 8mm allen wrench and install it between the belt and sprocket and roll the key into the sprocket. This will keep it tight while you tighten the axle. Run it up the road a couple miles and check it after moving forward.

Just turn your right side adjuster 1/4 turn clockwise and tighten the axel down. Ride it a few blocks and check. You should be good to go......
