Belt Tension there is an app for that.

I think they must be using it like we are trying to do. I also had to make the garage very quiet.

I am disappointed that the tension2go app did not work. Thanks to all who tried.

Installed the app DaTuner into my Blackberry and I did get some readings in the high 31 range. So that appears reasonable. It was not easy to do. I don't fully understand the app. It is for folks with musical training and I have none. So a lot of the setting possibilities are a mystery to me. I did have to get the garage quiet, doors closed and radio off. I have not given up on it yet. I think it will work if I figure out the app.
One interesting thing in the app description before I installed it. There was a one sentence that mentioned measuring the tension on a Ducati belt. In the app itself I found no reference to this at all.

I worked for me just have to verify this week with the tech that it read correctly my 526N ~ calculation. It can detect Frequency and you can do the math from that.

Roger, try making a recording from your mic using sound recorder.
Transfer the recording to your PC and take a look with audio freebee software. It could just be the ROM for the tablet you have sucks at recording and the mic is OK.
Might be a user created ROM for your tablet works better and does not "clip" the audio recording. The hardware mic on cheapo tablets is usually not the problem.

I was using a Galaxy Nexus leaned it against the black plastic just to the rear of center of the belt with the mic ~5mm from the belt. All readings were consistent. Maybe the tablet mic was not close enough to the belt or sensitive enough. I know my phone has the clearest voice than any I ever had. That may be the difference.:thumbup: What I am getting is a consistent 23hz which should mean my belt is a little loose. Guess I will have it checked next week to see if it is accurate. 23hz= 526N ~

Had my service done yesterday and the belt tension above was accurate for 1 reading. Remember it is suggested to do 3 as you move the bike 1/3 of a rotation of the tire. My average as measure by the tech was 510N. He also said he does not use 1050N for the 2013's but 400-600 range. He has replaced too many bearings and believes 1050N is too much. I will agree with him until otherwise :thumbup:. So using a good quality phone with this app and the previously mentioned settings will give you a good freq. Square that and multiply X .9442 and you should be pretty close.
