new to the forum, just picked up a 2014 rt sm6, still got the have a clutch after 50 years on two wheels, i noticed during inspection the belt is riding on one side of the front pully ? is this normal or a problem ?
it had a new back tire on it, when i got it , thanks
Your belt should be off the inside of the rear sprocket the thickness of a credit card. If this is where it resides, the front sprocket will take care of itself. Does either inside or outside of the belt appear shiny and or frayed?

no belt looks good, but it is tight on rear pully, i tried a credit card. go no
IF it is TIGHT to the flange I would do a 1/4 turn and see what that does .... I have seen video's of the belt while driving forward at speeds of 10 to 75 mph ... it is constantly moving moving left to right .... not a lot but it does move ..... Mike :thumbup:Quote:

And, make sure you check your belt positioning after rolling FORWARD several feet. The belt does change position A LOT when going in reverse. Good luck.....Jim
Another belt consideration is the tension. Mfr recommendation is too high. Krikit readings should be 140, rear wheel off the floor - 160 on the floor.
thanks, i known it set high on the ground it rear 270 on krikit
thank you
