I've had to tighten the adjustment on my FS as the belt was slipping on fast acceleration.
Done 15,000 miles so it's well stretched.
Adrenalin Moto suggested a new spring should be fitted.
Christmas shopping.

They all do that sir.......I sometimes cut a couple of mm off the end off the 'rose' joint thread. It will bed in fairly quickly, so dont panic too much. |
