intermittant squeal

[RAL]

As the header says. Picked my Spyder last Thursday and it has a high pitch squeal from the rear that comes and goes with no apparent pattern. Rear bearings? Teething issues......???

Belt tension.

Belt tension.

Tight as a drum. Can it be too tight?

Belt maybe rubbing on the flange of the sprocket [rear]
I put mine 3mm off the flange. Stopped most of the squeal but not all.
Hope this helps.

It can be too tight but don't guess. Get a gauge or some reliable form of tension test. And check the other obvious possibilities mentioned (like the PB) before going to trial and error.

loose/wobbling front sprocket

mine did it. may want check if your front belt sprocket bolt is loose and sprocket is wobbling. the teeth may engage the belt at an angle and cause squeal. load and temperature was a factor.

Dusty rotor

Mine would squeal whenever I would reverse... Dealer told me that a build up of brake dust on the rear rotor was probably the culprit. Cleaned it up, and no more squeal! :clap: Hopefully it's an easy fix for you.
