final drive belt adjustment
I need some advice on adjusting the belt on my 98 Road King. The manual says to have one person sitting on the bike. I don't have an extra person to sit on the bike. What spec can I use for a bike on the sidestand? Does the belt tighten or loosen when one person sits on it?

RE: final drive belt adjustment
Do your self a favor and buy a belt tensoir tool, there fairly cheap, belt failure is expensive....bike should be up right with a friend sitting on it, follow your manual for proper belt deflection. also make yuor self an alignment rod, factory manual will have a sketch of how to make one out of a welding rod or coat hanger. and a very small o-ring. Alingment is crucail to good handling, so take your time, get the tools and follow factory specs and you'll maintain a great handling ride
