#102904 Liquid_Edge (User) I'd Rather Be Riding Expert Boarder Posts: 547 Re:eeek, eee, EEEK, eeek, eeek 4 Months, 1 Week ago   Denchy wrote: I'm heading to Sturgis on the 30th of July. I had an "eek" sound last night after super cleaning the bike, including cleaning the belt. I just set the bike down off the stand. I loosened the belt a smig, it might have been a little tight. I'm going for a ride now and will let you know if that helped the get rid of the "eek". I am interested in this soaping of the belt idea. I know they used to do that with the old "V" belts on car engines. I have even used an aerosol belt dressing that you can buy from auto supplier. I am not sure something like a belt dressing would work on a tooth belt. What kind of soap would you use, a liguid dish soap of an old bar of soap? Denchy.

What I discovered is that the edge of the belt was rubbing on the side of the rear pulley. In another thread, I read that if the belt is not in the middle of the pulley it will rub on the side causing the EEK sound. It mentioned to measure from the swing arm pivot point on each side to the centre of the axle and adjust them to equal. I found that the belt moved more to the middle of the pulley and the EEK has gone. Denchy!

I live in Canada and we do have some belt dressing products I might try. I just adjusted my rear wheel alignment to make the belt run in the middle of the pulley.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103047 slezy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 698 Re:eeek, eee, EEEK, eeek, eeek 4 Months, 1 Week ago   leaving aug 1 for sturgis yahoo!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
