Anyone notice that the Vision's drive belt has less tension in it during cold weather; after a hard run on the bike (when everything is warmed up). Do you re-tension your belt (while cold) or just go with the current tension that was established for it during warmer weather?

Yes if it was good in the warm weather don't mess with it. There is nothing in the owners manual that says readjust in cold weather

I never changed the tension on mine for over two years, winter, spring, summer or fall.
