Default Black spring problems

What's up guys,
I need a little help. I installed a black spring with about 80 miles on my bike. It now has 432 miles and the wheelies are harder to come by. When I installed the spring, I already had the 27 outlaws on and I could feel the difference the black spring made. Is it time to check the deflection and tighten the belt? Thanks for any input.

Did you remove your sim or shims when you installed the black spring ? Other than that i would say time for a new belt for some reason.

Time to check/adjust belt tension. Inspect belt and pulleys for glazing. You'll most likely just need to adjust it.

No, I didn't remove any shims when I installed spring. I guess I'll go on Nyroc's site for belt adjusting info. If belt and clutch are glazed, how do I solve the problem? Do I have to buy another belt? Thanks for the input.

I did almost the same thing as you and the same thing happened to me, instead of removing shims or checking deflection, I just bought the Prairie 360 belt, which is a little wider and of course it was new. All problems went away and I got the low end power back, plus gained a few extra mph on top end also because of wider belt. Just a thought?? Or you can always just check deflection and maybe remove some shims.
