If the belt isn't squeaking, you don't have to do very much...
Back on the swingarm you have two adjusters. Loosen the rear axle, loosen the checknuts of the adjusters, take off the cover from the pulley.
Then you take an absolutely straight stud or beam or a level, connect it with the outer rear pulley rim (under the swingarm) and let it point to the rim of the front pulley. Adjust the right adjuster for correct beaming, adjust the left to set the tension of the belt. Both will affect each other but you get the idea, I think.
Make one more test: Try to swing and rock the rear pulley with your hands. If this is possible because it has slack, change the rubber absorbers behind the pulley or apply thin sheet metal to the absorbers. Then the adjustment of the belt is more steady! Also make sure that the front pulley is tightened very good! If it comes loose, the toothing of the pulley and the axle will be ruined.
Even with the best adjustment the belt will travel a bit from one side rim to the other because the load torque changes with acceleration and deceleration.
