My can AM limited has a squel when most of the time at lower RPMS ( maybe at higher as well but can not hear it) I went for a ride with a friend that had just bought a Triamph Speed and he was behind me. He could hear it from another bike. Does anyone have that problem , and if so can I use a belt dressing on the drive belt to quiet that down?

Belt dressing is a temporary fix at best. Check the belt tension and alignment.

I have noticed a noise from the belt when backing up. It has not gotten any worse. At 1st I thought it was brake pads, but you can apply the brake lightly and it doesn't go away :TgC_emoticon142:

. It's coming due for the 2nd maintanance, so when I have it up in the air on stands, I'll roll the tire and see if there is any walking in the belt. I had this issue with my Harley after the shop put on a new rear tire, :wall:
