Re: Whining sound from the lower rear

Scratch that. The noise is still there. I took it out for a ride and it is still the same. After a few miles it lessens but when I stop for awhile it is back.
I checked and the wire is still out of the way so that is ruled out for sure. (atleast I found that out sooner than later)
It has to be something else. Its like when the bike is ridden and warmed up its better. Maybe I will try the oil thing on the inside of the belt a little bit. Someone hopefully has some answers for me. Please I am a paranoid freak about my vehicles and can not stand them not being close to perfect as possible.
Thanks.

You sound a lot like me

Don't use OIL on the belt, only silicone. By virtue of what you say that it changes when it is warm and comes back when it is cooled down, I would re check the belt tension again.

Ok. I felt it several times when I was looking around. How much play should there be? It has Id say an inch of movement up and down on the lower side?

Re: Whining sound from the lower rear

The different bikes have different specs and whether it is set with a rider weight on it or not. Check in the manual for the proper setting on your bike. It's also checked by using a tool that applies 10 lbs of force to the belt and measuring the deflection.

Re: Whining sound from the lower rear

Glider was right. My belt was just not tight enough. I may add some dry silicon anyway just because. Thanks

Re: Whining sound from the lower rear

Glad you got it sorted out. Belts can be blamed for a good percentage of the noises in these bikes when they aren't adjusted to the correct tension.
