Hello! Anyone know the correct belt deflection measurment? The 08 service manual says 20mm and the 09 owners manual says 32mm. Did they use a different belt on the 09 models? Is there a mistake in one of the manuals? Thanks!

Bill, I can't say for sure but I have a change in my owners manual for '08 that sets it at 20mm. My dealer said that loosened it some more, and that is the case, I think the 32mm would be the same for '08 and '09, given that the belt is the same part number. I think it may have been determined that all the whine and growl was the belt being too tight on the rear pulley. I need to change my belt and my pulley since 30K is the recommended change out and I'm at 40K now with the orginal belt. So I'll see if there is a different pulley as the coating is peeling off the stock one.

Vic tech services updated the tension spec to 32mm in the middle of last year. As was stated Vic determined that tension was the cause of moch of the noise generated by Visions
