T Max 530 Mk 4 symptoms of a worn rear drive belt?

[MrGrumpy]

Ok still making this weird noise .As I say rides fine hers a you tube of the sound , its the little chirp you can hear after the blip of the throttle as the wheel comes to a top Any ideas please ?

Only just been able to listen to this. Firstly, I can barely hear any funny noise over the racket of the Akra exhaust!! And what noise I can hear sounds nothing like belt noise to me - at least nothing like squeals and squeaks that my mk4 used to make.

Thanks for that ! May just take the rear baffle out to drown out the noise completely !!

Even better, reroute the exhaust so the end is right next to your lug hole! You won't hear any funny noises then, or after a while, any noises at all!

Noise seems to be getting worse , at various speeds , like a squeak or wind buffeting . The side of the belt has a few "hairs" sticking out made of some king of plastic though the ribs on the belt look ok . its frustrating , thinking of going back to a mk 3

That was my solution as well! Congrats....the mk6 is seriously impressive (even if the smart key is irritating!)
