     Hi all, does anyone have some advise for me as my V-Rod with 4k on the clock has an embarrassing squeel on deseleration from the rear end, but only on hot days. This is my first belt drive and I have little to no experience on the drive train, I can twist the belt to nearly 45 degree is it a tention alignment issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah I'd guess it's a bit loose too. I know if mine is loose it just touches the chrome belt guard and squeals only on deceleration.

    Like was suggested, either get it back to the dealer or adjust it up a little.

    Turned out the belt was too tight. Quiet as a mouse now.
