Posts: 48 Massachusetts Gender:	Winding noise when I let off of the throttle 09/21/11 at 05:10:21 When I'm riding and I let off the gas a hear a winding noise, it seems to go away when I get back on the throttle. I'm going to head out and do some troubleshooting, just wondering if anybody knows what this could be. Thanks

Could be dirty or a bit loose. Check your tension. Grab belt in the middle at the bottom and try to twist it. If it goes over 90 degrees, tighten it up a bit. Maybe a 1/4 turn on the adjusters at a time.

I get the exact opposite. I get a whirring, almost metalic whining noise when I am ON the throttle. Goes away when I let off. Seems to come from left side of bike. Haven't been able to pinpoint it yet. I have suspected the belt, but I am at 90*. I also bashed the bottom of motor on a gigantic rock, so I may have other things going on inside, but it almost sounds clutch related. I also have tried bee's wax and baby powder on the belt. Didn't seem to make any difference.

It still does it just a little bit but you can barely hear it. much butter, thanks guys

Hmmm, I had a stick of lip-balm on hand & put a good dab on my finger, wiping it on the belt - problem solved! Stay safe.
