I tore down the machine to inspect the belt as stated in my question on the other post. Found that the new Gates belt was missing bout half of the inner ribs. Gonna look at the service manual tomorrow and check the specs to see if my belt is misaligned since I put on a new primary clutch a month ago. Guess I could have just gotten a bad belt. It was installed and ridden about 300 miles during the extremely cold part of February. Anyone with any experience with this please chime in. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!!
On a side note, I would like to have a long discussion with the engineering geniuses who gave so much thought to the accessibility of the belt on this machine. Have had it apart about 5 times now and get more enraged each time! Luckily, I've left out more and more screws with each disassembly!! I've found that it doesn't take 30 or 40 screws to hold on plastic!
