I noticed that my belt is really tight - much tighter than my other HD bikes. I don't know the specs on what it is supposed to be. Has anyone changed the rear tire and know what the deflection is supposed to be on the belt?

The info is in the manual to measure the deflection. You can also use the Gates carbon belt app to pluck the belt and measure the frequency, there’s a video on YouTube explaining the process.
