    Hi Guys,

    I have a 2009 Buell XB9XS CityX. I got my suspension professionally dialed-in today, it handles great. However, now when I walk the backwards at low speed the belt audibly rubs against something. It doesn't do it when walking it forward. Any idea of what it could be? Anything that could have been adjusted?

    Thanks.

    Sure it's not your brake pads?

    That's what I would guess brakes, if you could hear your belt rub it should be able to see it rub. The only place that I could think of that you couldn't see is behind the plastic front pulley cover maybe somethings not tucked away?

    What djs2k2 said, especially second part. Interesting though, happened to me too after doing some work that included removing my rear wheel. But it went away after short ride. Almost sounded like a bicycle
