I installed the belt instead of the stock chain. When you reset the engine speed on the move appears a sound in the area lead sheave. When I use the clutch, buzz disappears.

Reply #3 - 04/25/12 at 08:38:57 WE adjust our by hand, Put it in gear & roll it backwards to put all the slack on the bottom, grab the belt 1/2 way between sheaves, twist the belt. Not gorilla force here, it shouldnt be hard, a secretary should be able to do it,if it will twist about 90 degrees,, thats pretty good.

I was able to rotate it 90 degrees by hand without much effort. then I rode on my bike for about 15 miles. Buzz, but it's much quieter. How did mattress drive belt? is probably only one reason-set of pulleys and belt were pre-owned? leading the pulley I purchased from another vendor.

On this one, I just let it squeak until it dries enough to stop on its own.
