    Default 2021 RT Limited Belt alignment

    I purchased a new 21 RT L, after riding 100+ miles I noticed the drive belt rides on the outside edge of the rear sprocket. If I back up and stop it's close to the inside edge. Put another 150 miles on today and the belt moves back to the outside edge. Anyone else see this on the 21's? It does have the belt idler on it from the factory. It looks like it's installed correctly.

    Thanks Russ

    Get it back to the dealership for correction.

    .... about 1/4 turn on the adjuster ..... but it's under warranty let the dealer do it ...... and the drive belt is very long, and it actually moves a bit all the while you are moving ( I've seen video's of this ) ...... good luck .... Mike

    When you took that photo had you just made either a hard turn left or right? If so that will impact where the belt is. Check it after going in a straight line for a bit. If it's still like that than it need's to be adjusted.

    Nope straight up the driveway into the shed. Also checked through out the ride. Didn't seem to move from that edge other then backing up.
    Thanks for all the responses.
