A laser shot across the surface of both pulleys works best.

When using this method to check, the axle must be pretty snug, as the pulley hub is pulled into contact with the hub bearing by the axle. If you try to check the belt tracking with a loose axle - the belt will not track the same way that it will when the axle is tightened (the pulley can shift forward under belt tension, and cause the belt to move outward on the pulley).

Someday I will be old......But not today!

The axle is off by 2mm and the belt rides a little to the outside. No belt noise. Incidentally, the Suzuki swing arm marks are 3mm apart. I may say Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo it and just line up the marks.
