hello everyone,
installed a scootworks front pulley on my 900 classic today,went for a ride about 40 km 's did town and highway speed.when i got home i noticed it makes a chriping sound at very low speeds, sounds lkike from rear wheel area,
sounds like a rubber squeeking/ styraphome cup squeeeky thing.i can see a little rub mark on the outside edge of belt , maybe where it contacts the rear pulley side. belt still rides to the lh outside from the back of bike as before. could the bekt be too tight? too loose? i don't have a belt tension tool but measure how much delfection i had before and tried to make it the same after.
measured adjustment on both sides with a vernier caliper and it's bang on.

anybody?
