The first sentence make sense but I have no clue as to what the second means. Check what alignment? Belt? Front to rear wheel? What bolts. Pulley? With the wheel tilted the forces are the same on the pulley except for a slight difference caused by gravity.

That wheel looks like a good candidate to convert into a 16" 13-spoke single disc FRONT wheel

And you can quote me on this,
if the owner of there motorcycle, takes the time to do the proper maintenance and proper torquing, they should never have an issue..
Especially compared to the original posters damage, there is extreme damage to that rim that should have been noticed before it got that bad.. It just doesn't go like that, all of a sudden..............
