Title: Belt squeak when cold, generally on acceleration?
Post by MacAttack on 05/11/06 at 13:17:46

My bike has just over 600 miles on it, and I notice an intermittant squeak lasting a few seconds or so. The belt is reasonably tight (can turn 90 degrees). I do ride on two miles of gravel road daily.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Mac

Mac,

Don't worry. Sluggo's not mad. He's just cranky. And I don't blame him. He can't ride his pimp savage right now ;). >:(

Everyone likes this site becaue it is very friendly! Even if the nubes don't know about the search feature. I'm sure I irritated some folks when I first got on here... (proll'y still do 8) ).

The 90deg. thing should really be done with load on the back suspension so it is at it's tightest.
