Rear belt adjustment on Tri Glide.

[sandrooney]

I was installing new rear brake pads and new rear shocks and thought I would adjust the rear belt while I was at it. I adjusted it to the specs in the manual using the tension tool and it just seems tight. 3/8 to 7/16 with 10 lbs of pressure.

was that off ground or on the ground? Some bikes you have to check off the ground..

It was off the ground. I believe the manual says either way works.
Thanks

Just adjusted my 2017 Tri Glide belt last week off the ground to 7/16". I checked it again on the ground with no change. It feels a little tight, but should be fine.

Check it and forget it IMO too tight bad too loose bad

Do it the old fashion way put the belt between your thumb and forefinger and if you can twist it 45* ride it and forget it. Been doing it this way and haven't had ant trouble

2018 Tri Glide Belt Adjustment

I checked my belt tension with the gauge & it is a little tight. I have been to numerous sites but thus far have found nothing about how to preform this adjustment on my 2018 Tri Glide, only video of eccentric cam axle bolt on 2 wheelers.
