Clink in Reverse

[angel]

just got the bike back after the niece blacking at speed into a tree

they replaced the rim it was broken in 3 places. I had them change out the tire as i did not want to find a broken cord. bike dove great coming home backed it out to load up for a trip and hear a click 3 times while backing out the ramp. backed around the yard and for about each rear wheel turn backward the clink come once from under me near my left leg. I feel this is belt related as i note my belt is not alined any wear near the old marks on the hub there is about 1/4 inch of shiny meatal around the hub and the belt is very tight to the back side or rim of the hub no noise noted forward.

We have planned this trip for months now this. on op of this we have been telling the dealer who we have trust in about the wife's bike showing no tread on the inside of both front wheels and have always been told it is in specs. Sorry Huston if in specs and show where at 2500 and 5000 that bad then something is not right. so had new rubber put on wife's butt find no mention about an alignment being done

Look for a stone lodged in a tire tread, a stone in the belt, or a cotter key hitting the wheel weight on a front wheel. Beyond that, I'd take it back and ask the dealer to properly finish the job. The belt should run about 1/16"-1/8" off the rear pulley flange.
