Thanks Flip, it obviously works for you, but I've yet to come across a spring tension specification for the S2R, I guess the guage would also have to be accurately placed to be consistent. Would the 900 spec be different from mine?
As for the twist method, I'm more than a little cautious about that as my mate did the Optic 2000 rally on a rotax engined CCM. He set the belt tension using the rotax's method of the twist, (45 degrees I think) and had a tensioner collapse in the middle of the Tunisian desert. Took them all day to find him, by which time he was well out of water and a getting little concerned! He's not a bad engineer, its just that I think some methods can leave too much room for interpretation.
I'm more confused now! :-{
