#506828 NWRODIE (User) I smell the fear! Expert Boarder Posts: 494 Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   I was reading in Technical Corner, and saw where someone mentioned Belt lube Pardon my stupid look, but I have never heard of this...I'm currently a first time belt drive owner.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506834 Deerkiller (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1575 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   Never heard of it. Owned this roadstar for 12 years...original belt with 23k miles. Sounds like muffler bearings and blinker fluid.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506837 NWRODIE (User) I smell the fear!

I just make sure mine is clean and tensioned, and that dad-gum front pulley nut is tight!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506844 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1420 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   I've read where people will use wax or something similar to stop the chirping. But as long as your belt is tensioned right you don't need it. And +1 on the front pulley check!   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #506850 NWRODIE (User) I smell the fear! Expert Boarder Posts: 494 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   I'm going to check that front pulley before I leave on my trip...that's for sure!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506854 FatJay (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1429 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   I saw the same thread. The guy had issues with his alignment/rear wheel wobble, he found the tensioner not tightened down when he was oiling the belt. I thought to myself "that doesn't sound right at all."   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506858 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1927 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   You need to use a silicone type belt dressing to keep your belt clean and flexable. Otherwise you will eventualy develop a "whine" that is very irritating.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #506860 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4794 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   Way back in the day there was a product called belt dressing. You could spray it on your cars v-belts to quiet them. I can remember my dad using it on the car and the big squirrel cage fan on the A/C for the house. It shouldn't be needed on the R* but it isn't a complete myth either. I'm sure a lot of the older guys here remember it as well.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #506870 Deerkiller (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1575 Re:Belt Lube?? 11 Months ago   What's all this I hear about the front pulley? Is there certain years that are more affected? I've never put a wrench on my 2000 but I've never had a problem, either.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
