It is now used for hanging my jacket, bandana, goggles and occasionally my helmet after I put a plant hanger in the end of the pipe. Served its purpose until I bought a lift.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #189036 mrdon59 (User) Zoom-Zoom Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Sound coming from rear end. 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Great idea, I will try that.

Yup, and if the sound goes away you may need to check your tire/belt alignment. Dont mask a potential problem.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #190402 mrdon59 (User) Zoom-Zoom Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Sound coming from rear end. 3 Years ago   Can anyone tell me or explain how to adjust "Belt" alignment? Mry75 suggested I remove the bottom end plastic belt guard. I did this and the noise went away. I'm a novice when it come to working on my bike. I'm forcing myself to learn. Sooooooo, Can I adjust this or should I raise the White Flag and take it to the Dealer?

If you can twist it more it's too loose. Less means it's too tight. Make small adjustments as a little goes a long way. What is more important than the belt riding in the middle of the pulley is making sure the wheel is straight. Measure from the swing arm pivot to the axle nut on both sides. If it measures the same on both sides and the belt tension is right you're good to go. As long as the belt isn't rubbing against the side of the pulley it's ok. Most Roadie belts ride towards the inside of the pulley. Your owners manual shows you how to adjust it. It isn't hard. You can do it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #190498 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.
