Check the belt guard. It's supposed to have vibration damping pads and can rattle. Check the drive pulley. If that nut gets loose the splines will die a gruesome ,costly and difficult to repair death.
Taking the bike for tires costs WAY more than taking the wheels in. If you don't have the equipment to take both off at the same time, make two trips. Darn few NON Savage owners know how to get the belt right. You've allowed someone to mess with your bike. Yeah, a Professional... We've seen at least two engines destroyed by Professional Mechanics, just changing the oil. Look carefully at the screws holding the belt guard on. Do you see signs of a socket or screwdriver being on them ?.. There's no reason to touch that to change the tire. How many labor hours did they charge? Did they break it down, front and rear? I think it's insane charging thirty bucks for taking a tire off a rim, mounting and balancing the new one, but that's what I paid, and that's been years ago. What did they charge to pull the wheels and swap the tires? I asked about HOURS charged to try to get an idea of how stupidly they may have gone about it. IF they pulled the drive pulley and charged for it AND didn't torque it right, then they're in a bind. I'd go back and just talk, ask about how hard was it, because You want to know if it's something that you can do. If they go off telling you Ohh, it's a big job getting the rear off, you gotta pull the drive pulley.. Then it'd really be good to have a witness. They owe you money, for charging to do what doesn't need done and they MAY owe you for some repairs. Which, were I you, would be done elsewhere.
I wouldn't touch it or ride it till I knew exactly what they did. I Would look carefully at the belt guard screws. Clean spots tell a tale.
