I saw it somewhere but I can't find it again. How do I tell if my belt is tensioned properly. I do not have the factory tool kit nor the little tension measuring doohickie?

Get the rear wheel aligned to the swingarm. Set the tension so that you can grab the belt & twist it 90* 1/2 way between the pulleys. You shuldnt need to be a weight lifter,
Mine squeaks anyway, so I use canning wax on the belt.
