Tinkering with my belt

[Jetfixer]

I also have the Gates Sonic Meter. It is the tool that is specified by the Can Am Service Manual. I would like to know how the two tools compare accuracy-wise. Seems to me that a plastic tool that snaps over-center might not be as accurate as a calibrated device that must have the mass, width, and length of the belt entered into it before you take a reading. Not to mention that the manual calls for taking at least 3 measurements with the wheel is specific positions, and then averaging the readings.

Not a sonic test tool, but this video is informative and does make a confirmation of accuracy. Training video from Dayco.

WOW! Well ... that works for me then. Actually, it's within 0.98571428 % of the Krikit gauge. Close enough for me. I'll put the extra $288 + towards other farkles. Thanks for the video and other help you fine folks have helped me with.
