Even with the rear shim mod to make sure everything was aligned, mine started to squeal a few months ago. I had my belt tensioned to the 90 degree two finger method. However, I tried loosening the belt just a smidgen and whatta you know, the squeal stopped! So, don't go too loose, but if you have the patience you can consider lightening the tension just a bit and see if that helps. As I understand it, when you sit on the bike and depress the shocks it increases the tension on the belt so a smidgen loose at rest is not too critical so long as you weigh more than 100 lbs and actually depress the shocks when you sit on the bike.
Dave/Versy/Serow (and others), please correct me if I am leading anyone astray here.
