There are a number of possibilities.
I would think if the bearing was bad, it'd squeal all the time.
My guess would be somethings outta place due to wear.
Maybe a washer has worn out, or split and fallen out.
Might be worth taking the clutch cover off and fishing around with a magnet.
But without splitting the case, you're SOL.

As an option, buy the bottom end and swap the rest on it.

Im still not sure why any of you have personal issues with how I spend my money on my bike. If its not a issue to you then stop bringing up how much X-tire or X-items are. I bought them, I know what they cost and if I don't need them later I will give them to people.

So with the front pulley removed I have the same symptoms: very loud squeal after 3rd gear. I don't have the tools to see if or how out of tolerance the shaft is but a mechanic nearby said he can check it out. I can say that it does not move at all if I try to wiggle it in any direction by hand.

Rotate the shaft, feel for a rough spot.
Eyeball the shaft while it's spinning. If the edges stay crisp it's straight.

I'm hoping it's not on the sidestand running .

One thing that I forgot to ask about was if a magnet was fished around in the clutch case.

I have no idea what parts were replaced. I asked for anything related to belt squeal and bearing noise to be replaced.

I haven't gotten a bill for this portion yet, I got two used pulleys in (front/back) that I want tossed on to do the tight belt run, then replace parts and toss on the new pulleys/belt after.

I asked about that gasket but they didn't know anything about it. Turns out it was a different part number listed under "Bologna" gasket.

Well there's been about 1400 miles put on the tire since the front/rear bearings, belt (used) front pulley (used), rear pulley and associated parts were replaced.

There's no front pulley noise unless the belt is tightened way too tight and then its just rear pulley from what I can tell.

I don't know where the "online vendor" was found for an estimate of parts needed but my cost was just under $1400 for parts, and since I expected to need to have the engine/crankcase worked on by now I didn't use all new parts. Mechanic costs are right at $3200 with labor and tip.

At this point I have no idea how long it will take to replicate the squeal I had before bad off of belt tension alone.

Are you really telling us you spent $4600 on this? I paid $1250 for my 96 with 3k miles on it and got a spare parts bike with it.

Next time you hear a noise, you might want to consider going straight the dealer and trade it in on a new one. It will be a lot less money and headaches. At this point I'm fairly certain you are spending more on R&D for this model than Suzuki themselves.

I know it's your money and I don't care what you do with it (and neither do you apparently

), I'm just saying...

A new or almost new bike would be a much better bet with no headaches. I've seen plenty of almost new bikes around El Paso for not much over $3000. Including one with 14 miles on it for $3000!!
