95 FXSTC, 35,000. rear belt is squeaking to beat the band. on deceleration in gear with load on. if I disengage the clutch the noise stops. also a chirp while under acceleration. All is alighned correctly, tire, belt, swingarm. also proper belt tension.
Here's a home remedy I picked up on this forum. It works, and can't harm anything. Buy a block of paraffin (available with the canning goods at the grocery store) and drag it along the edges of the belt.
Yea I have been around and around with this for weeks, realigning and retentioning, everything is right on. I'm going to try cleaning the belt and using the wax idea. That really sounds like the best solution, and one I haven't tried yet.
