    Default Belt

    Up in the north east in Connecticut we have been blessed with some great riding weather lately,
    took advantage of the warm day we had on Christmas, went out for a couple of hours, oh boy
    what a feeling to be on my Spyder on X-mas day.
    When I put the bike away in the garage I noticed that my belt was approx 1/8 out from the
    spocket, is this a concern, how do you set it back to the center.

    Default BELT

    .......If you moved the Spyder backwards in the garage this will cause the belt to do this ( it always happens ).......If not, I wouldn't be terribly concerned but it should be to the right ,near the flange about the thickness of a credit card away.......before attempting to correct this I would make sure it needs to be corrected....which means you need to see if it moves after riding it some more ......catch 22 ............Mike

    You need to travel forward in a straight line for (maybe) three bike lengths; for the belt to find it's rightful place on the sprocket.
    On my 2010: When backing up; it would move to the left enough to reach the outer edge of the sprocket...
    Run it forward, and it would get right back to where it belonged!

    Default All of the above...

    It's a bear to get it right but pull forward as mentioned to confirm...
