rear wheel doesn't turn as free as I expected??
I just bought a jack was & using it to clean wheels
is there that much going on between the belt & transmission??
(kind of tough to describe just seems too tight)
any ideas
Thanks

 

Yes. Kinda surprising isn't it? I had the same reaction the first time I had mine up in the air. Cleaned the front and moving back started to turn the wheel.....hello...but it helped me visualize how it all is linked.

 

That's normal.

 

Your brakes will have a little drag, your back wheel weighs about 1 ton and your belt is still spinning the primary and transmission input shaft. Although it's still in neutral, things are also turing.

 

Thanks for the input
