I can't locate something that gives me the feeling of some scratching when I make a turn in low speed in 1st. gear on my 12s -06. I'we checked the tires and they seem fine so I have tried to look at the belt drive to with no luck. Please give me some points of view of what it can be.

You're going to have to be more specific, I think.

Hmmm... just guessing here... Make sure your belt guards aren't touching the belt or riding too close.

uhhh.... make sure the bolts holding your brake rotors in place are torqued...

What do you consider "low speed in 1st". You're not scraping your pegs are you? : )

I have tried to ride down a road with the engine shut off so I might hear where the sound is coming from but with no luck. It's like when I'm going strait down the road the scratching sound and a fealing of some resistance in the bike comes and goes, but if I make a little turn the same sound and resistance comes right away and it feals and sounds stronger...

Check your wheel bearings.

Check your front brake pads for damage.

If that does not work leave a mouse trap by your bike overnight.......................
