Tru-TensionTru-Tension | Belt Monkey | Motorcycle Belt Tensioning Tool | Perfect For Road Riding, Off-Road, Commuting & Touring | Motorcycle Tools & Accessories

Bought this to use on my motorbike after stripping back end out. I wanted something simple and accurate and although there are cheaper spring type tools out there they involve checking, adjusting to rechecking etc. I read a previous review that said it's not compatible with a VN900, but was sure it would fit so took a gamble. The pic I've uploaded shows it fitted and the position I fitted it in, I thought it would be useful to others to see where it will go, it's fairly central from front to back pulleys. It was a doddle to set up, instructions were clear. Within a few mins it was removed and job done. My only criticism is the numbers do not relate to mm, eg setting 1 is 5-7 mm from memory, I may be wrong but you get the idea. But.. Kawasaki say around 1.5-4.5 mm is correct for this bike, so it doesn't go that low. But as most people Inc me think that's a tad tight the no 1 setting was in my eyes adequate, but be aware. The result was accurate to what the instructions said. Worth a shot if you're under confident and after one adjustment it's paid for itself!

There is nowhere clear underneath the bike or towards sprockets clear enough to fit the belt monkey.Its a shame as it looks and feels well made.It still gets top marks for ease of use in setting the tension, its just incompatible with my bike.

Item arrived on time and was as described.
