[cheesycoolguy]

I was wondering what the renmended drive belt deflection is for a 1982 ET340. I am not in possesion of an owners or mantience manual. Any info would be greatly apriciated.

I have a '78 et340 service manual and it lists the clutch center distance @ 266mm Yamaha goes by the center distance not by belt deflection. the wear limit for the belt is 26mm

Thank you very much, I'll have to take some measurements tonight.

offset on that sled is listed @ 11 mm

The stock setup on the ET is very sloppy .Try and remove as much belt deflection as possible I have also slotted the engine plate to move engine farther ahead. 1" of deflection is good .
