I know where some real thickness is...
...but putting that aside why don't you explain how you use your really straight 2 x 4 to align your tires?
Don't leave out any details. Take a photo or two. We need the details that even a newbie or someone with "2 left hands" can understand. Are you up to it?
Oh, and please tell us where to get your really straight wood. Maybe Vtail will let you borrow his string to demonstrate.

The pulley is not pressed against the wheel. The bearing INNER race is fixed by axle spacers, but the OUTER race can still move. Did you try to wiggle your pulley yet?
Like I said, you want to blame the squeak on pulley alignment? Go ahead and spend your time spinning the tire and watching the belt move. You guys are into self abuse
No squeaks in my garage.
Correct me if I am wrong since I have not had any reason to take it apart but from looking at the fiches it looks as though that bearing is pressed IN the drive drum that holds the rubber schock absorbers. If 2 or more toothed pulleys are perfectly on the same plane (Like the fixed plane-alignment on car cambelt pulleys and unlike V pulleys), shoulders are unnessesary. As far as wheel alignment I always double check with the string method. Keep smiling

Ohh, that would need another explanation and it would get unnessary complex. Oke here we go; Laser leveler is horizontally held about 2 inches above the ground aming forward against the left and then the right side of the rear tire. Measure the distance between the beam and front tire where it passes the front tire. It should measure the same on both sides of the front tire. If the rearwheel is really off the beam will hit the front-tire on the backside

I know what a lazer level is and does, i was home builder all my life. I will stick with the 2x4 its much easier and faster and a better way to do it.

So, just measuring from the middle of the swingarm bolt to the alignment marks isn't close enough? (to insure that your alignment marks are accurate).
Or is the lazer / 2x4 / string method(s) better?
(I'm still trying to figure out the string and 2x4 methods, and the logic behind them)

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Put the 2x4 on rear wheel as high as you can get it. Have the front wheel straight.When its even dimentions on front wheel you are in line. You can pretty much see with your eye when its straight.
