sounds like a broken spring or its not put together correct or really dirty.

no broken spring pretty dirty the two bimetal bushings have play but dont look worn like they usually do but need to be replaced. shoe ramps completely worn out i mean like almost metal to metal. some scores in the bender helix but looks ok. the bottem edges on the inside of the sleves were a little jagged but i dont think the belt touches it but i dont like it. i might have to snap a photo to explain. add all that up i think i might have pinned the problem, everything! its a 2000 sxr600 bought it 5-6 weeks ago for $600.00 abused never cared for kinda guy just put gas in. all it had was a broken primary spring that was causing a bog and plugged pilot jets. it rips pretty good but needs more work. where can i order the shoe ramps, bimetal bushings and what ever else i need online for good pricing and shipping the local dealers are hard on my wallet.

Whay does the belt height look like. Should be 1/16 th above the secondary. Maybe just needs adjustment.
Don't buy the spi sec rebuild kits they are junk will not last a seanson.

copy that on the junk after market stuff. bran new belt, ride hight was perfect. where does everybody get parts from im a lowly carpenter who spends all his money keeping his vintage sleds, cars,trucks,tools going. basically everything i own is twenty years old, poor and white could be worse. 
If I order from someone other than a vendor here, I usually go to cycle parts warehouse. They used to be the cheapest I could find. Usually takes a little while as I think they have to order the parts in for sleds as they are down south.

don't buy any aftermarket shoe ramps..there are crap.I tried some years back..they last like 1 ride,they are soft.OEM is a hard compound that will last many seasons.Just change mine the other day.They are expensive..like $10 plus each..but worth it in the long run.
