Default Installed Black/Red spring, now KEBC noise??

I just installed a new belt, EPI Black secondary and Red primary springs. Is it normal to hear the KEBC more with this set up? When I let off the throttle I notice its noisier and when coming to a complete stop you can hear the KEBC moving. It sounds just like it does when you turn the key off and the KEBC runs for a second. Is this normal?

The red front spring puts a big load increase on the KEBC , since the motor has to compress the spring to slow the machine down your KEBC may be worn or weak , try changing the drive spring back to the factory spring.

Sure your belt is not too tight? Put it in neutral with engine warmed up/running to see if noise goes away. If you just changed the belt and not any shims in your secondary, your belt is probably toooo tight.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

No, it doesn't make any noise in neutral, just when I'm slowing down to a stop. I rode it quite a bit today and got used to it, so I don't think there is anything wrong, just feels ands sounds different than stock. I changed the original belt and just left the shims in place and the new belt was in spec. Man this thing sure woke up with the spring change and Dyna. I was showing my nephews how easy it wheelies and almost let it get away.
