Changed the mid belt, too loose????
 

My first mid belt snapped, after change the new is so loose that it skip.
How to avoid/adjust that?

you cant adjust em are the pulleys shagged :lol:

Are the gears worn? Thats the only thing i could think of. You cant adjust the centre belt tension, it's just the top deck that tensions it. Try the gears first :D

Ben

I know its non abjustable, The car is new....... so the pulleys are not worn.
Nobody seen this before?

probably just unlucky

the only time i had one loose is when i didn't seat the top deck correctly!!

do i have to bend the chassis before i tightened the top deck to tighend the belt?

the chassis should be flat, and when you tighten down the topdeck, you should have the car sat flat too, to stop any bend (tweak) being induced).

Hmmm.
Try that tomorrow, but i dont think its enough- its wery loose....
Maybe bad batch belt?

I'm on my 4th belt mid and all A-OK so far. Sounds like something is not right.

how come you guys are going through so many belts?? My DB-01 is 18 months old, and still on it's 1st belts.

I brought a cat when it first came out but haven't had to
change any belts yet.

Changed the belt again, this belt is tighter.
Must be a bad batch:eh?:

strange you should say that, our belt is new and its loose compared to the old belt

do these belts skip

ill tell you tomorrow,havent run it yet with new belt

NONE of your belts should skip! When you are fitting your centre belt are you putting it straight over the pulleys or taking the front pulley off to fit it? If so it might be stretching the belt if your not taking the pulley off. :blush:

followed the manual it said remove front pulley slide the belt over the rear pulley then replace front pulley,it might not slipp,just when i put the old belt back on its tighter,?

My belt has NOT been stretched/bendt/twisted, i took out the pulley.
The second belt i mounted was tighter, it wount skip...

Possibly a bad batch?

Is there any chance somebody could count the teeth on a good and bad belt just in case they are different, you never know ;)

Same number of teeth, cant see any difference when i hold them together.

ran ares today at southport, it has the same number of teeth,but the old one is slight tighter fitting no idea how,but the new belt didn't slip anyways,

ran my cat for about 6 months nearly every week and never changed any of the belts centre one did fray alittle bit but it did not slip
