After my lowside in garage, the alignment of the belt is strange, very strange!

the belt is out of the pulley + - 1cm

is more than the tolerance, is not normal

anyone have any idea?

Belts track to one side as the bike rolls. That's why the lip is only on one side. Have you tried simply spinning the wheel fwd a ways and seeing if it re-aligns?

I'd pull the wheel and re-mount it.

I've also found I like to spin the rear wheel while bringing up the tension on the axle slope. I've found this makes the belt track consistently, wheel swap after swap.

Just a spin or two while tightening it up is enough.

I've tried everything!!

Yesterday we discovered that the left swingarm bearings was out of place!

I was worried because my bike has a CR pulley and a bigger tensioner

solved

Buddy had the same issue after dumping his bike

He swapped out the tensioner pully and that fixed it
