I'd be doing some close inspectin' ...that doesn't sound right. Check the axle nuts for proper torque, check the adjusters that they're not broken, lift the rear up and see if there is any bearing play in the axle. Check that the sprocket bolts are tight. The swing arm bolts. It would probably be a good idea to loosen the belt right off to check all those.
Yep, it's hard to argue with success.
I've got 80,000 miles on my belt and all I've ever used is the quick and easy 45* twist method. Hell would freeze over before I'd go to the hassle of pulling the shocks off just to do a belt adjustment.
My left side adjuster doesnt do anything. I adjust the belt tension with the right side adjuster, I actually have to tap the left side forward a bit to get the proper alignment. I then torque the axle, then snug the left adjuster nut then recheck the alignment.
Does that apply when you've removed and are reinstalling the wheel, or just when you're checking the adjustment/alignment?
It's fairly normal if you just checking the adjustments. The adjusters only pull the wheel back, they don't push it forward.

Two bolts, a lift and twenty minutes. Then you have a reference point to check belt deflection ...less than 5 seconds with a little finger pressure. But it's your ride, who can argue with success, right?
