Default Another question about the squeeling??

I was told on here that its probably my belt, but my belt is practically brand new. I dont even know if thats the problem. Again...when Im taking off from a start, it squeels from time to time. It all depends how I take off, if I ride the clutch it wont do it, but if I take of normal, and it slightly boggs, it will do it. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks alot.

There's a few things you could try, you could remove the belt and give it and all the pullys a good cleaning. There's belt dressing you could spray on the belt, if that takes care of the problem it kinda tells you it was the belt..... I would still buy a new one. Don't forget you have a AC belt, maybe that's causing the problem? Good luck.

There are three idler pulleys. Eventually one of them is gonna go dry & start to squeal. I've taken them off & soaked them in oil, trying to relude them, but it doesn't really do much.

Just buy one new one & swap it around in each position until you find the bum one (the noise will go away).
