Final Drive Belt?

[claw]

On my 08 Mastiff, it looks as if there is no space between the belt, and the rear tire. I verified its not touching but its really close. I plan on checking the rear alignment after the hollidays, but was wondering if this is normal? Thanks in advance for any comments.

Edit: I'd guess 1/32" between tire and belt.

Hey Rob, this is normal. you can maybe slip a piece of paper between it, thats how close it is.

I went to a Metzler from our Avons and it did rub.

Cool. Good to know. Thank you for the qick replies.

I also was considering a Metz when I wear the Avon down. I guess I'll stick with Avon.

Thanks for sharing.

Metzler makes a tire for our scoots now, so there's no more worries about tire rub...

If it bugs you that it is so close you can sand the side of the tire down. I would leave as is but different strokes.

Just mounted the new Metzler on my K9 and its about the same distance as the Avon.
