  1. Check drive belt tension. See Rear Drive Belt Condition.
  2. Check the drive belt for debris.
  3. Inspect drive belt condition. See Rear Drive Belt Condition. If you discover cracks, broken teeth or frayed edges, replace the drive belt before riding. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer can assist.
