Belt height

[Weapon X]

I put a new stickier belt on my phazer and noticed that the belt sits about a 1/8 of an Inch down in the secondary ,the stock belt did this too right from factory. Is this what you guys are seeing or does this thing have to be shimmed up to normal height like an 1/8 above the clutch?

Your correct. your belt deflection is off right now. get it so you right above the sheavs

So I have to pick up shims for behind the secondary or in front of it, not sure how to do this cause I've never done this.

so nobody knows anything about shims on the secondary on totally yamaha?

My belt with 600miles on it is about a 1/16" above secondary.Yes if yours isnt you would have to remove shims but not sure if your deflection would be to tight what you would dther sleds you move the motor.You will just have to try the shims and see.

Mine rides low also. Is this particular secondary adjustable? I didnt think you could close up the sheaves tighter on this one. If you can or somebody already has, please explain.

from manual: When installing a new v-belt be sure that it is positioned from 0.06" (1.5mm) above the edge of the secondary shieve to 0.02" (.5mm) below the edge. If the v-belt is not positioned correctly, the clutch engagement speed will be changed.

I don't see anything in there about adjusting belt height but I just looked quickly.
