Drive belt clearance on rear wheel pully

[Ex-Rocket]

I was cleaning up my RTS after a rainy ride yesterday and noticed that the drive belt has alot more clearance from the inner lip of the rear wheel. It once had a gap of maybe like the width of a credit card but now has a gap of atleast a 1/8 inch or more. Is this something to be concerned of or is that wider gap ok? Nothing has been done to the bike so I don't know why the belt has moved from the inner lip.

Had you just rolled the spyder bacwards? If so you'll get a false indication. Drive it forward for a hundred yards and recheck.

Well it was pushed backwards out of the garage so that may account for the belt movement. I will check tomorrow after I ride the bike forward a few hundred yards. Thanks guys.:clap: This place is full of very smart people who has answers for us dumb newbies.

Usually the case..!!

backing up or rolling the roadster back will alter the position but forward motion will track it back into place. Business card credit card anything but a deck of cards..!! :roflblack:
