Drive belt floating off back Sprocket

[FIRECAT]

Had drive belt checked for tension and alignment but continues to float a little bit off edge and then back in line constantly shifting and moving any thoughts on what's going on? Just had tire replaced bearings are good has anyone had problems with swingarm bearings causing this? Could the rubbers in the back sprocket be wearing I'm at 33,000 miles!

something in the drive line is worn and or loose

front sprocket or the swingarm check everything

All specifications should be check. all worn parts must be replace.

At 33k you might want to consider a new belt in the not too distant future.
It is all that stands between the motor going around and your back wheel moving.


I wondered what that belt was for:roflblack::roflblack:

Mine had this same issue -- and the cause was the front sprocket splines where worn out - the only way to check front sprocket is to take belt off and then you will be able to tell If front sprocket is in wobble mode :(

you should pull the wheel and check all parts involved. Swing arm, front/rear sprockets, main shaft bearings and belt. You already checked wheel bearings. Not much else can cause this movement...good luck and would like to hear the outcome..!! :thumbup:

Iws going to suggest making sure that you're checking the alignment after running the bike forward in a pretty straight line for maybe 30' fett or so...
But you already knew that with 33,000 miles under your belt! ;)
Rear wheel to front sprocket "stuff" all needs a closer look... :shocked:
Good Luck! :thumbup:

I already changed this front sprocket and drive belt together at 23,000 miles then adjusted belt at dealer properly Last fall!

Yes the front sprocket was worn on spline then shouldn't be now it's only been at 10,000 miles nice and tight too

Wheel bearings? :dontknow: Could they be introducing enough "slop" in the system to make a mess of your belt's alignment?
