* PROCEDURE TO PERFECTLY CENTER THE WHEEL
1) Once the wheel is connected (and after the wheel has calibrated itself), turn the wheel completely to the left and then completely to the right.
2) Next, move the wheel to its perfectly centered position.
3) Simultaneously press and then release the “START + SELECT + MODE” buttons.
4) The wheel’s new central value is automatically and permanently saved in the wheel’s internal Flash memory
(note: do not repeat this procedure each time you reconnect the wheel).
IMPORTANT: Be sure not to not use this procedure too often, since there are a limited number of times that changes can be written to the wheel’s internal Flash memory.
= This procedure must be used only to modify the factory setting of the wheel’s central value.
Regarding the 'notches' that have been mentioned in this thread, this has been discussed at length over at GTPlanet. They are caused by the wheel staying in one position (while in storage) for an extended amount of time, resulting in a slight 'warping' of the belt where it has to bend sharply around one of the gears. As you use the wheel and the belt warms up, this 'lump' in the belt will reduce, making the notches less apparent. You can prove this to yourself by simply storing the wheel at a certain position, and even after as little as 5 minutes, you should be able to turn the wheel across that point and feel the new 'notch' that has been formed. It is therefore good practice to store the wheel in a different position each time.
The notches will be hugely apparent when you take a T500 fresh out of the box, as it will have not moved since it left the factory.
