I'm currently installing a belt drive on my 850. Mine seems to run straight and true with the original single sided adjuster. However, it seems like mine is the exception to the rule. Apparently the condition of the lower mounting bolt on the gearbox - the one that acts as a fulcrum for chain / belt adjustment, is critical. In my case it appears to be one of the few components on my bike that was not totally knackered!
My plan B is definitely to buy a two sided adjuster.
I don't know that your scenario is an exception, maybe just different?
My belt drive upgrade on a 74' is one adjuster. Still aligned and behaving over a year after installation. I finally gained confidence in it after checking it every ride for a month after installing.
Methinks so many bikes just have past usage/riding influences in them that dictate various results when improvements of upgrades are introduced.
