Belt Tension

[canucklovingbrit]

Just had the dealership fit a new belt (warranty, thank God!) to my XB12R. The previous one snapped at 16,000 kms. There is almost zero play in the new belt, and I can't turn the tensioner pulley by hand. Is this how it should be? With the old belt, the pulley turned by hand very easily. Don't want to be snapping another belt. Thanks!

It's all I can do to turn my tensioner pulley and it's the original '06 Belt. I'd say it's just new and will stretch over time.
