newton[not fig] update

[irvin48]

had new h/l's put in friday and told dealer to check belt and lower the tension.
manager said they have been setting them at 900n. not too tight and no
complaints. seems like he was right. havent had time to click the cricket yet.
seems to be good at all speeds. he was also aware of what an overtightened belt
could do bearing and sprocket wise. irv

[GearHd]

Are these off the ground numbers?

 

[irvin48]

Numbers

Just so you know: the on-the-ground number is going to be lower than ......the off-the-ground number........................and with the KritKit it will be about 30lbs................My 185 is ON-THE-GROUND..........if it was off-the-ground, it would be ....215 ........( I have a 2014 RT ).............Mike :thumbup:

You are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The off the ground number will be lower that the on the ground number. Reason being when you put it on the ground the belt will be under more tension because off the weight of the bike stretches the belt.

 

[GearHd]

Yeah I'd say 185 off the ground would be around 215 on the ground.

 

[irvin48]

hmmm. so what do we set it at?
