So I think I've finally discovered the cause of the awful noise my bike makes, the belt is rubbing on the lip of the front pulley. I've read about aligning the motor using the jack screws on the right side (
https://www.electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=11121.msg104017#msg104017) and I've tried that today and it makes next to no difference unless I'm doing it wrong. Is it just for very fine adjustment (I would assume so considering the motor mount on the left side is rigid) or should I be able to move the belt over a few millimetres?
I have the belt well centred on the rear pulley but I even tried adjusting that so it's hanging off the right side and still the belt wasn't centred on the front pulley. I'm not really sure what else to try, only other thing I can think of would be taking off the pulley and putting a thin spacer behind it but that's far too much effort. Also I think I may have fucked up the motor alignment now because when I roll the bike backwards the belt moves to the right, then centres back up when going forward.
