BELT!! 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Well that sounds about right..there are a couple of nylon guide rollers inside the drive pulley cover that could be causing it... you can clean them up..Ive heard some folks remove them. I don't really know why they are there to be honest.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98738 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13086 Re:SQUEAKEE!! BELT!! 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The rollers are supposed to hold the belt down on the pulley. Grab the lower belt half way between the pullies and twist. If you can go about 45 degrees the tension is good. More is too loose. Less is too tight.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98781 drsmith (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:SQUEAKEE!!

BELT!! 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   On these bikes the belt tends to run towards the inside of the pulley. Not rubbing but towards the inside. Being centered is good if your rear wheel is straight. Measure from the swingarm pivot to the axel on both side and see if it's the same.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98812 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 953 Re:SQUEAKEE!!
