    Default Belt squeal

    I searched and found the grease fix (works great), only temporary though. What is the permanent fix??

    A new belt that hasn't been burnished.

    If it is rubbing the inside flange and squealing from that, the belt needs realigned. I have adjusted them before that were 4 full turns tracking too far to the right against the shoulder. Someone had thought they could adjust them and got it wrong.
    Should have 1-5 mm gap from the flange. To check make sure you have been going forward. When you back up the alignment changes and you cannot go by where the belt is.

    Default Little checking..

    Check the belt tension. They keep changing the recommended setting for the different models but run it on the looserear side of the recommendation..

    I had the same issue last year after my dealer installed a new rear tire. The rear tire needs to aligned so there is a gap between the edge of the belt and flange of the sprocket. Once I adjusted it, no more squeal and it stopped pulling to the right.
