Hey guys, is it normal for a clutch kit to make the belt chirp/squeal a little at idle? I just replaced the belt with a new one and at idle it makes the annoying chirp sound. Previous owner said it started with the clutch kit after it was installed and i just had the company that installed the clutch kit then give mine a once over and they said it was fine (after replacing the roller bearings). Ans ideas on how to reduce the noise? Thanks

check the hight of the belt on the secondary. If the belt sits to high it will chirp. The solution if this is the problem is to remove a washer from each small bolt behind the secondary. There are 3 bolts that have different thickness washers.
Thanks next time I'm out there I'll measure the distance. What is too high? Thanks!

you need to adjust the deflection for the new belt, the belt is not too short!

take your secondary off of your sled and remove the 3 screws on the back of it. Take out the washers from behind them and reinstall the screws (without the washers). This should correct your diflection problem.
