Title: Belt cover tension adjustment windows Post by: csorin on February 23, 2011, 10:58:47 AM Saw this on one of Radical's Ducatis. Anyone have any info? This would make adjusting belt tension a breeze. No more fiddling with the vertical belt cover. Two allen bolts and you're there.

I've noticed my belts start singing around 3k once the engine warms up. This is after I tightened up a 1000 mile old set. Think I might have cinched them down a bit tight. I can just get a 5mm in there with a bunch of wiggling (620). Should the allen wrench slide right under the roller in a smooth pass?

Is something like this commercially available or DIY only? Title: Re: Belt cover tension adjustment windows Post by: ducpainter on February 24, 2011, 04:19:35 AM This. On a used belt the allen should move through easily. Sounds like they are a bit tight.I've noticed my belts start singing around 3k once the engine warms up.

The plexi replacements would have to be DIY, but I don't think the 620 covers have that opening and the 900 covers won't fit.Title: Re: Belt cover tension adjustment windows Post by: DucNaked on February 24, 2011, 04:44:13 AM Bellissimoto sells some for the 620,but they dont have the opening fot the adjusters.

It was the covers for a 900 that had those ports. I'm not sure if 900 covers will fit another 2v though - I just don't know. But doing what they did there would be pretty easy. Just clean up the covers and hit them with some paint. Remove the port cover, trace it onto some plexi and make the windows. No biggy. |
