I'm hearing a rubbing sound from either under the hood close to the rider or the front part of the tunnel, hard to say.
It only happens as I slow down (e.g. aproching a road crossing) weather I brake or not. Sounds kind of like when we were kids putting cigarette pack folders pinned to our bicycle spokes.
It doesn't do it while taking off or riding, only when decelerating and coming to a stop.
And of course it won't do it on the jack stand.
Belt is fine and no play in the jack or drive shaft bearings.
Can't see anything rubbing on the track either.
Any thoughts ?

I think it's your track rubbing on the muffler clamps closer to the front of the sled. The track has slack at the top when decelerating. Any time you accelerate, the top of the track tightens.

My Vector does that. I thought it was just cold snow on the track or skis. Mine has been doing since I got it.

Got rid of the rubbing noise, chaine needed adjusting, must've been rubbing on the casing while braking or slowing down.
