Has anyone tried using the "Free Spirits Modified Belt Tensioner" on a bike with a chain conversion? http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/169.html

On my last trackday a lot of people had questions about the slack in my chain. I'm new at the whole Buell/chain thing. The guys at tech told me it should have about 1.5" of slack. Problem is, with that setting the chain got way too tight while riding. I didn't even make it out of the pits that way. For now it's set to: With me on the bike, there is about 1". Without me on the bike there is about 3".

Is that right?

Why is there such a drastic difference?
