Harley Drive Belt Tension

Bob and Mark demonstrate the professional technique for finding the tight spot in a Sportster’s rear wheel belt. You should do this without a rider or passenger and with the bike in neutral. This video will teach you how to check for belt tension and deflection and how to re-torque the axle so you can give your bike a smoother ride. *Refer to your year/model manual for the spec on tightest spot vs. loosest spot.
