Yamaha G1 clutch belt tension

yamaha G1 owner · 08-17-2016, 07:15 AM

Have been reading forums on BGW about clutch belts and have noticed that I can pull my clutch belt together leaving about 2'' gap between belt, this appears to me that it shouldn't be so slack, how much slack should be in this belt? And what affect will this have on the performance

You should have about 1"-2" of deflection. While the cart is sitting still (not running lol), push you thumb down on the belt, it should move about 1-2" and that's it.
