ok i have a 97 vmax sx and i blew a belt in the u.p. threw on my spare rode the rest of the time on my spare. this year i bought new belt. hpx5008 Dayco.

sometimes its hard to start because the belt is tight. sometimes it wants to keep going when i want to stop. sometimes i have to hit the brake hard and i can hear the clutch disengage and i stop and it does stop but i can hear it chirping or squealing a little bit.

i know they made two belts for these yamaha's a 5008 and a 5009 i have both belts new and the 5008 is the one that fits. is there a way to change the spring position in the secondary to soften it up? or is there an adjustment for how tight the belt is?
