Title: Sorry to Swear...
Post by 23Skidoo on 07/24/11 at 05:58:15

I've inherited a Kwack EN500 (Vulcan) from my old man...

He got it new in '93 and last rode it in 2001.. only 4K on the clock..

In mint condition apart from a more than rusty tank.... Not had the chance to ride it yet but I know I'm not going to like her...

I've had my Sav for over 2 years and I just can't swap her for a Kwack... despite my squeeky belt.... ;)

The Vulcan 500 is very good bike! That's a Ninja motor on that puppy.

your belt is too tight! you should be able to twist it at a 45 degree angle. mine will squeak a bit when wet but other than that, never.

I had belt squeak as well. I adjusted the tension so I can turn it 90 deg without too much effort. Then I centered it in the rear sprocket. No more squeak.
