Yeah mine was the same. I ended up tightening the rear belt one notch as it felt very loose. I have put the tensioners from my 501 on mine now. Drivetrain is very smooth - better than my 501 which only has the original size pulleys on it.
And for those that don't have a 501 I can tell you that the arms are not made of the same material, hence the "std" and "Hard" options on the set-up sheet. I assume the kit arms are very slightly softer than the 501 arms and more forgiving.
