right before my belt went in my old scrambler, the loose flapping pieces of belt were hitting the cover from the inside, but only when I slowed to a stop. The belt shredded and blew apart pretty quickly. As I remember, I heard the same noise when I slowed down for 3 or 4 road crossings, kept going about a mile and all of a sudden all I had was neutral, neutral, and neutral. I would say that something is inside your housing, it could be foreign debris or a mouse or something, but I would bet on the belt starting to disintegrate. Replace it before you have to walk home.

do you mean you just put in the new one a week ago? Either way, it shouldn't be making that noise. Pull the cover off and have a look.

i think north star is right sounds like your belt is starting to come apart.

i have a question for you hannahj how do you like your tire set up?? do the holeshots give you much traction?? it doesn't push any in turns??
thanks
