Hello, Does anyone know what causes the belt to want to move toward the tranny? No matter how I adjust the rear wheel (centered or not) or the belt (loose vs very tight), the belt just wants to walk to the left off the transmission pulley. This is really driving me nuts. I hope someone can give me a clue. Thanks | ||

Are you dead sure that you have "off-centered" the wheel into the right direction ? Hans | ||

hey, i had that problem for a while myself, and asked what to do here at one point... double check that your front pully is not loose... trust me i just ripped the splines out of mine | ||

12000 Miles and i've got a lose belt on my XB anyone can help me on that? Either the front pulley tension or a lime belt?in both case i'll end up soon with a broken belt.I was thinking of triplex chain conversion like the RR don't know about that but sure don't want that mess anymore!however it's he first time it happens,so i can put it on bad luck!if anyone can give me any clue!i'll be glad to here from you...take it easy guys and ride safe.   | ||

Buell_rider_24, How loose is the belt? I'm new to Buells but not belt drive and in my experience these belt do not stretch much. If it were my bike I would check the follow before replacing the belt or putting a chain drive on because the belt is not tracking properly. 1. Worn idler bearing 2. Idler bracket loose or bent 3. Front sprocket loose 4. Rear axle adjusted properly 5. Worn rear wheel bearing 6. Bent or misaligned swingarm | ||

Your belt is damaged and needs replaced. If the tensioner pulley bearings are worn, it may need replaced as well. | ||

My dealership is telling me that the belt has been mishandled the last time that i had my rear tire changed, and they won't take the belt under garantee.This is my second XB i bought it brand new in august 2005 from my dealership and feel like being screwed....Do you think that mishandling the belt when you change your rear tire can cause the belt not tracking properly? I would think it'll break instead. Have a nice day  | ||
