The rear cams on the rear axle are different to get it perfect on your bike.....One has a tiny bit removed to square rear to front. ( so if he was sloppy doing rear tire it may be off a tiny bit) When the front forks were serviced I also did the neck bearings and checked tripe trees...The front was also aligned to the rear. Guessing maybe Indy was sloppy on your bar install. The rear belt and sprocket were in excellent condition 5-7 k before you bought it. ( that's puzzling as That bike was going to be my last so it got everything it needed) I have a funny feeling you need a new Indy....something doesn't smell rite. I would tell you this winter... I would check cam tensioners again if your over 45k. It was in my list if to do next....No reason to,BS you already bought it...lol. Was coming up this weekend but weather looks horrible.
Wouldn't this misalign the rear axle to the rear fork pivot shaft, which in turn would misalign the rear spocket to the transmission spocket, leading to premature belt/sprocket wear?
