The belt on my Savage has started chirping rather loudly. I have had a number of bikes with belt drives, and have never experienced this problem before. After reading the postings, it seems to me that this is not uncommon on the Savage. The general opinion is that I should put some bee's wax on the belt. I will give it a try tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have a question for the more mechanically inclined on this site, which given my level of mechanical knowledge, means almost everyone. Why is it that the belt only chirps when the bike is in gear, the clutch is engaged, and the throttle is on? (The chirping goes away when I roll off the throttle, or pull in the clutch, or coast out of gear.)
Thanks
