Can You Apply Oil to a Noisy Motorcycle Belt?
1 Answers
You should not apply oil to a noisy motorcycle belt. Reasons for belt noise: When a belt produces a squeaking sound, it usually indicates that the surface friction coefficient of the belt has significantly decreased, indicating excessive wear. If the noise occurs under vehicle load, observe one of the drive belts. You may notice that the resistance or tension on the belt tensioner or idler pulley increases abnormally. Solutions for engine belt noise: If the engine belt squeaks, it is typically due to excessive smoothness at the contact surface between the belt and pulley. The best solution is to replace the engine belt.
