Adjust the tension of the belt when you install the rear wheel or when the belt tension does not meet the Inspection requirements.
With the drive-belt aligned correctly on the front sprocket, follow these steps:
1. Test the alignment and note any movement of the drive-belt on the rear sprocket.
2. Slightly loosen the dropout attachment screws on both dropouts (Figure 1).
3. If the drive-belt moves to the outside of the rear sprocket, loosen the alignment screw (Figure 1) on the left (non-drive) dropout.
4. If the drive-belt moves to the inside of the rear sprocket, loosen the alignment screw on the right (drive) dropout.
5. After the correct alignment is achieved, tighten the dropout attachment screws to the torque specifications.
6. Follow the instructions To test drive-belt tension.
If you cannot achieve the correct belt tension, take your bicycle to your dealer for service.
