Hopefully you can see the manual via this link:Hello guys, I'm new here. And I know there are probably a bunch of posts about this very topic but reading through some of them I realize I'm still missing seemingly common knowledge. I just got 2 new tires on my scr950 and I have them set back up. I know nothing really about how to adjust the rear wheel to be aligned and to properly set the belt tension. I'm really trying to get the bike don't by Saturday so I can take it on maybe a 120 mile road trip. I guess I'm starting from scratch and looking for help.

Do you need to know the marks on the belt slack hole on belt guard. I get that that does not really make sense but what are the measurements in that hole? And when im adjusting the belt slack and rear wheel alignment do I do the belt slack first or the rear wheel straight? Can I use a tape measure for to get it straight?Oh yes.....it’s 10 lb of pressure you want to be applying to the belt to measure deflection accurately......we’ve discussed that previously too:

Drive belt slack
Any of you boys checked yours recently? Manual says 6-8mm, which is **** tight. I last reset mine last year, when I had rear wheel off to replace a puncture. Having checked it yesterday, it was 9-10mm (at various points), which seems fine to me. There’s plenty of discussion online with...www.scr950forum.com

If you hold up a ruler to the marks in the window on the belt guard, I think you will see the marks on there are metric (i.e. mm’s/cm’s), to help you measure belt deflection/slack when you apply the required pressure.Do you need to know the marks on the belt slack hole on belt guard.
