Help! Belt issue.

Look close @ the pully teeth. Towards the inside you can see the wear from the belt being offset. Looks awful sharp to me. Im getting old tho..

Yeah I see that now Harry. You’re probably dead on with that assessment!

When you get the rest of that ruined belt off, can ya give us a good clear picture of the pulley ? Also, how are you aligning the wheel pulley with the tranny pulley?

Rear tire had/has maybe 50 miles in it. I also changed bearings at that time as well.

Put belt on put a touch of tension on it and spin it. Make sure it’s tracking straight. I also have marks on both sides I put on there. I miced it and made marks.

I ordered a 132 1 1/8th this time. I bought the smaller pulley from Barnes a few years ago since I have to pull it apart and do all this again. I might as well put all the new parts I have in it in it.

Just another thought popped into my head. Any chance of looseness in the swing arm ? seems to me that under load the belt that tracks straight under no real tension,could make the swing arm be pulled to the side under load, causing the belt to track off to one side. ( just another dumb thought)
