    Vector Squeak on Acceleration

    That very well could be, though I don't really know what we can do about it. I agree though, this is one heck of a sled, the best I've ever owned.

    Vector Squeak on Acceleration

    They weren't getting hot this last time riding, we had plenty of snow, so that wasn't an issue. As far as the stopping, it's hard to say, as I attribute most of the slowing to the "engine braking" design, which it's done from the beginning, that I've gotten used to and use it to my advantage.

    Vector Squeak on Acceleration

    Thanks a lot for the idea's. I was hoping to get additional idea's besides the ones roaming in my head. I looked at the belt deflection article, very informative. I will be checking all these things the next time I get up to where my sled is parked. I'm figuring I won't be able to make it before...

That makes me wonder if it's not in a idler wheel or something, I really don't know, just looking for...

    Vector Squeak on Acceleration

    During my ride this past week on my 2006 Vector GT (1000 Mi.), I noticed that when I was accelarating slowly from a stop, I could hear a squeak that would increase in speed as the machine increased in speed. The noise would appear to go away after I would get to say 10-15 mph or so (this may be...
