I was doing the service on my 2010 SG and I am a bit confused.
The FSM says to adjust the rear belt either with the bike upright with the rear wheel off the ground OR
On the jiffy stand with bags empty and no rider.
At the loosest point on the belt.
The measurement is 1/4"-5/16"
My first concern is the loosest point. If the loosest point is tightened to spec, then the tightest point will be too tight wouldn't it?
My other issue is, both methods of adjustment will have vast differences in frame geometry so how can one set of measurements apply to both methods?
On my 1999 sportster the FSM says tightest spot in the belt.
What's correct?
