Checking the Drive Belt Tension
To check the Drive Belt tension, the bike needs to be operated. Get the pedals rotating at about 20 RPM. Then suddenly increase the RPM to your

Adjusting the Drive Belt Tension
1. To change the tension of the Drive Belt, loosen the Axle Nuts. Use a 15mm open end wrench to hold the Axle Nut on one side steady, and
loosen the Axle Nut on the opposite side with a 15mm socket and wrench.
2. If the Drive Belt is too loose and slipping, use a 10mm wrench to turn each Flywheel Retainer Nut a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise).
3. Re-test the tension of the Drive Belt, and adjust if still necessary.
A detailed "Adjust the Belt Tension" procedure can be found in the Service Manual.
