my vforce has about 15 hours on it and its starting to make a noise coming from around the belt. almost like a slight squeel. it only happens accasionally and stops when you touch the gas. is this normal, like a belt squeeling on a car. thanks

 

I believe this means your belt is slightly tight.
Most of us actually do mods to our driven springs and this is a result of this.

 

mine makes the same sound. the dealer told me not to worrie about it..

 

its a little tight,but will go away with a little wear.my p650 and kfx700 do this after i had dealer put on new belts and set the deflection a little tight so when it got a little wear the specs would be good.
