I'd stick with the 115 because on the 080 I kept pulling out the cords on the sides of them. The worst thing for a 900 crank is to blow a belt.

Yes you should have your clutch shimmed for the 115. I never did and it left a fine wear line low in the sheaves of my old clutch.

Shimmed or not the 115 will wear the clutch sheaves. It's the nature of the belt.
