Has anyone here experienced the drive belt on the rear pulley walking? I noticed a few days ago after a ride that the drive belt seemed to be tracking to the right. Nothing so serious that its about to come off but its not against the backstop of the rear pulley either.

What causes this and should I be concerned?

Thanks

Mine does the same thing...been that way since the first tire change. So far it has not hurt anything...

Some guys who have fallen over or crashed have found the swingarm pivot has bent causing the rear pulley to be out of line.

Mine was walking out due to a fine compaction of sand/silt near the inside of the rear pulley. I ended up blowing it out with some compressed air. Tracks nice and true now.

My belt is flush with the outside edge of the rear pulley with a small gap between the inside flange and the belt.
