Enjoy it, but "don't drive it like you stole it" be abit gentle on it, it's more of a cruiser.

If your belt is at one inch tension it's to lose. My dealer told me to set it at 10mm. You can pick up a tool at a Harley Davidson shop that will help you set the correct belt tension.

The factory set the belt tension with a device similar to this:

Quote: First, enter belt mass constant, belt width and span length into meter using built-in keypad.

Didn't see these in the M3W manual smile

The factory just set it to a resonant frequency, 45 to 50 Hz if I recall, using a device similar to the Gates product.
