Rear Drive Belt Cleaning
Cleaning the drive belt will maximize belt and sprocket life
and minimize drive line noise. Clean the belt at every tire
change. Clean the belt more often if riding in dirty, dusty or
high debris environments.
1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with a cup of warm
water.
2. Use a soft nylon brush to clean the belt and sprocket
teeth with the soapy water. Clean well in corner areas
where road debris and belt dust can collect.
3. Rinse the belt with clear water, then dry thoroughly.
Tip: Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt or
drive system is wet or hot. Improper adjustment will result.
