    Default Defective belt?

    I have a friend with a 2015 RT that has had a problem with belt alignment since new last summer. Both his RT and my F3 needed our belts aligned when new but his does not stay aligned and is now showing wear on the inside from rubbing on the sprocket. He has been in 3 times for this. Yesterday when he was at the dealer for the 3,000 mile service they spent over 3 hours trying to align the belt and took 4 test rides. When he got home the belt was way off to the other side.

    was just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue.

    In order to get a decent "read" on where the belt is riding: you need to drive the bike straight ahead for a couple of bike lengths, before taking a look at it...
