Just before Christmas, I did a major service (15K) on my bike that included a new belt. It was a blue dyed biatch to get on and seemed to be extremely tight. I got a Free Spirits tensioner from Matt at Adenaline-Moto...what a fine piece it is. Made a noticeable difference in how much easier the bike rolls... Thanks Matt!

I'm still debating on one. I put a new belt on my 12R before the swingarm change, and thought the tension was reasonable. I use a Uly belt now, and will get a new one to put on before spring. If it's too tight, I'll come up with something. I have never heard of someone breaking a belt with one of those on.........

They were out of stock on the gold one, I had to wait to have it made and anodized...glad I did. it was worth the wait. |

sigh... thats one thing I truely am jealous of you XB guys about. I think the tensioner is the coolest thing ever. I'm still trying to figure out a intersting way to mount on on my s1, if I can ever get my hands on a roller to see how to mount it. |

Foximus, let me check, I may have one lying around. If I remember though, you'd need to put a new bearing in it. It's an easy fix with a common bearing. If I still have it, it's your's. |

Yeah, if by mounting bracket you mean what the idle wheel is attached to. This is what I've been told is out in the garage, not black though. |

Went for my first long-ish ride since I installed it...it has definately reduced the drag from the belt some....and it has "softened" the off throttle transition some...a positive thing in my view. |

Sorry Fox, the pulley can not be found. If I do run across it, I'll send it to you asap |
