Default Side belt tension

Hi guys,

I don't own 710, but I just built my Serpent 835 and I have a question related to what you were discussing as far as the tension on the belt goes. My problem is on contrary to yours. The side belt is very tight (I use everything stock including the pulley). It almost feels like a guitar string and I had a very hard time to get it on. I had to take off one of the pulleys and carefully press it back with the belt on. The tensioner is all the way up as there's no extra tension required on top of what it is. I have a feeling that it might be even tweaking the chassis a tiny bit (I don't have the radio plate mounted on yet) so I have to check into that.

But is it normal that when brand new the side belt is so tight?

Thanks
