Review on Gates 38274 Belt Tensioner Assembly by Shane Yay

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No OEM quality. Timing Parts

Looked good but after installing this tensioner I noticed that the belt was not centered on the pulley as it should be. The edge of the belt has moved almost past the edge of the pulley. I rode it for a week with no problems. Then the belt began to make an unbearably loud squeak. I removed the tensioner and reinstalled my old tensioner with the pulley from the new tensioner. Now the belt runs in the middle and is completely silent again.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Requires Socket
