The guys at Wilson´s (Fresno)explained a way to tension the belt. It seems that the marks on the frame aren´t correct from the factory. I put my rear wheel up in the air with a motorcycle jack and loosened the axle and the adjusters. I started the bike, put it in gear and tensioned the belt so that it rides to the inside of the rear pulley. I checked the belt tension when the bike is in nuetral. I tightened the axle first and put it in gear again to see it moves to the outside. If it doesn´t I tighten the jam nuts, install the cotter pin and ride it a little. The belt will move to the outside but the chirping was gone.
