Front Spocket & Belt Alignment issues

[DunaJ]

Started with a creaking noise when I pushed my spyder around.

http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?65832-Creaking-noise-from-front-sprocket

Re-torqued bolt/pulley to 80ft/lbs (max my wrench would go). Went to re-align the belt tracking; Then I noticed that the right adjuster was loose. The belt needs to move closer to the rear flange, so I turn adjuster bolt CCW. But this only makes the adjuster extreamly loose. Not sure what I am doing wrong :banghead:???

I think I need to re-tighten the axle, tighten right adjuster (so that it is longer loose), then re-start the belt tracking re-align process.

Also been seeing all the threads on here about sprocket failure, driveshaft failures. I do not have an "X" on my bolt/pulley. I am noticing some wetness behind the sprocket and rust looking. Not sure if it is coming from another source (leak) or the driveshaft. Question: If the driveshaft seal fails, will it appear as a oil or fluid leak?

Less than two weeks away from Syderfest trip and need to get this issue resolved ASAP. Thanks in advance for any HELP!!!!!!ray:ray:ray:

Let's see..!!

Loosen the axel. Snug up the left adjuster to start getting the tension set. Tighten the right one keeping the axel even. I measure from center axel to back of swingarm. Once you have the tension set rotate the tire to see the tracking and adjust accordingly. This is a tricky process for the first time or two..good luck you will get it...:thumbup:
