Rear Drive Belt Cleaning

TIP
Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt or drive system is wet or hot. Improper adjustment will result.
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.
