Drive Belt Adjustment Specs

[mcdonaldroadcapt]

I have a Motortrike Trog with solid axle. Looks very similar to Tri-Glide. How much play do you guys have in your drive belt? Seems like manual specs for the two wheeler would cause a too tight condition during leaning in the corners on a three wheeler being that it has a straight axle. How much play do you adjust into your belt? Thanks.

i just did this today, the spec. calls for 3/8 to 7/16 , i set mine right at snug 7/16 which is pretty tight and it's going to get alot tighter as it warms up.
