[VanJayden]

Proper belt tension is essential for the FreeSpirits 307585-87 Triumph Classic Belt Conversion Kit to perform optimally. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure correct tensioning:

1. After fitting the belt onto the swingarm, securely reinstall the swingarm.
2. Reattach the footrests.
3. Remove the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) rear sprocket.
4. Install the pulley kit, using the original nuts and applying medium-strength Loctite.
5. Mount the rear wheel, but do not fully tighten the nut at this stage.
6. Reinstall the brake caliper.
7. Fit the pinion kit. Insert the nut stop flange and secure it, centering the holes as shown in the provided photo. Use the screws provided to fasten it.
8. Use a rear stand to lower the bike, ensuring proper alignment of the axes.
9. Refer to the included diagram for correct tensioning. Ensure these components are aligned:
   • Pinion
   • Pulley
   • Pin swingarm
   • Bending 10mm
   • Strength of 4.5 kg
10. Reinstall the shocks and securely tighten the rear wheel axle.

Following these steps carefully will guarantee the belt is correctly tensioned, improving performance and extending the life of the belt system. If you experience any difficulties or have further questions, consult a qualified technician or contact FreeSpirits directly for assistance.
