What can i do to not loose the belt? What tension does it need how can i do it with out a tension meter. I ve heard that you can do it by noise meter, 165db. Any help please?

After breaking in the new belt, which is to be set at a tension of 160-165Hz, you should check it again after it cools entirely. I would then check it after each ride to ensure it's at the proper tension and showing no signs of wear.

You can't use a sound level meter (aka - decible meter) as the belt does not produce an actual sound that is audible. It vibrates at a certain frequency depending on the amount of tension, which is why you need to use a sonic meter.

Thank You Riva. Could you tell me the price for the sonic meter?

No problem. They're about $600.00 (+/-). You need the 507C Sonic Tension Meter. Here's a link to find a Gates distributor near you.
