How to adjust belt tension | Sur-ron LBX Tutorial 

Thanks for the good notes. I'll make sure to explain this in my drivetrain/beltkit video

I think this was the cause of my slight noise that was just starting as well!

Mines just gone in for first service but the day before it started to make a whistling sound on de-acceleration quite high pitched , it seems to go after about 5 mins of riding , does that sound like a belt issue ? . I reported it when I dropped the bike off but feel like most places just check bolts and brakes 🤷‍♂️

I don't have this bike anymore, but i would suggest if possible to have the tab lean up towards the stop pin before tightening to have it stay in position. Not quite sure what you mean with it not moving freely

No, it's not broken. It doesn't matter that the lever doesn't stick in place when loosened. Its only job is to stop the motor from sliding AFTER you've tightened the bolt again. Just remember to hold it up against the stop while tightening the bolt.

@@nemistech5425 thank you! I really appreciated this video! Could not find anything online about this at all especially with detail! Thanks again!

I loosened it. Sound happens if belt it tight and rubs on the sides of the pulley. Generally the sound will be worse when wet. That also means you can get the sound with the right tension, but bad alignment

Beware that belts do not always behave the same way chains do. Some belts have a tendency to tighten up over time.

@@nemistech5425 i see.. thanks for the tip.. I'll keep an eye on it

I am sorry, i don't know, and i actually sold my Su-Ron earlier this year since i bought a Zero SR/F

Heh, i assumed that most of the people googling this problem wouldn't have belt guages, and the belt run is too short to properly get a sound for something like the gates belt drive app.

@@nemistech5425 It's an issue. Luna referred me to your video so that I would understand what the proper belt tension is for my bike. Your description, though vague and abstract, is the sort of technical specification much earlier vehicles were built around. I'm not faulting you, I'm faulting Sur-ron corporate. I've read their service manual. It is NOT abject garbage. Some of the pages have pretty pictures, plus their address is in there, so that's useful, but nearly 97% of it is utterly useless, or worse. Some of it actively causes a form of brain damage as your neurons are forced to make connections they should never make, which decreases general and specific cognition. I still have nightmares from their picture trying to describe "runout" just so they can tell you it's "bad" if there's a lot of it.

@@TheBsavage Hi, i totally understand your frustration, and i felt it myself when trying to do this the first time. The reality of it is that there are no official specs, and the belt is too short to do proper tensioning on without special tools like tension gauges. My video assume that you don't have this kind of tools, and despite being kinda vague, it's accurate enough. Since the belt run is this short, it doesn't really matter if it's not 100% up to spec unless you've got a new controller/battery delivering much more power. There should be a bit of play, but not so much that you risk it jumping over teeth

@@nemistech5425 he's not frustrated - just insecure. There are more videos about surrons and belt tension and he talks in the same manner with the content creators. You may be to modest to do it but I'll call a douche when I see one.

It doesn't sound worse. It's just that the chain noise is more noticeable when the belt is quiet (also the mic was moved a bit). I wish i did a recording of how the bike sounded after i did the belt conversion as well before i sold my sur ron. That sounded really quiet in comparison

@@nemistech5425 it sounds like its murdering a family after
