Road king belt adjustment
not how i wanted to spend a Saturday,or any other day for that matter.last week belt popped went today and got belt,couple more trips out for tools i didnt have,,ok i am in the reconstruction stage have swing arm and tire and belt in place and checking..as i rotate tire forward belt travel seems fine but if i spin tire reverse belt rides all the way in on the primary and turning forward does not cause it to ride back out. if i "feed" the belt (screwdriver behind) as i turn forward it stays centered on sprocket ,,till i roll it reverse.and it seems to stay centered on wheel sprocket either way??at $250 plus tax,,i want to make sure this belt is perfect

Belt adjustment
You have the rear wheel off center causing your problem.Put a little slack in your belt and adjust wheel one side at a time untill condition is better or if unchanged,moved other side back.Once you get belt centered on pully adjust both sides evenly back untill belt has correct play.All belts will ride off center a slight bit when wheel turned in reverse.

not that i ride in reverse....but i was asking for help with a problem,which i thought the forum was for ,not smart *** answers to add to someones post quanta.the amount i turn the wheel in reverse is less then the revaluations it would make for me to back into a parking space once,, and on a normal day i would probably do twice.so in my book if you cant help,.keep your mouth shut rather than add a notch

should the rear of the engine be able to slide back and forth when the swing arm was out,at first could not understand why it would not fit back in,,then i pushed the whole motor over and realized it would slid back and forth
