Can anyone figure out the required frequency for the weight range for Zeros (20-30 kg)?

Try it out on yours and see what you get. I would set the phone on something for consistency as I was just holding it.

What my dealer told me was you strum it like a guitar. The specs for my SR are 96.3hz-124hz. I don't know if this is the same across the board though.

So how hard did you push with your finger to get 1/2 inch deflection??? The harder I push, the more it deflects on mine... Is there "slack" on yours, where you can barely touch it and it will easily deflect some before it starts to resist your pushing it?

No weight, just pushed on it with my fingers.

I just pushed it til it stopped without really forcing it.

When I got my new 2016 FXS I could feel right away that the belt was way too tight. I bought one of those Krikit gauges but I got a wildly different reading every time I used it, so I then bought a proper gauge...

This revealed that the belt was set to around 100lbs (from the factory!). I adjusted it back to factory spec and it felt much better. No creaking, groaning and general squealing.  After doing a bit of experimenting, I decided that the Krikit is OK for getting a ±50% type of reading if you need something for an emergency set up by the side of the road, but its no substitute for a real gauge.

Maybe you are not using the Krikit correctly? With mine I am getting very consistent readings netween measurements in the same place on the belt, no more than 10-20% off from each measurement. Is it correct? That I don't know, but just by feel I think it is close.
