does a new belt normally squeek  By  1parrot2 (Read 3,878 times)

That is not all that uncommon after putting a new drive belt on a 250 Honda Reflex scooter. I have heard of others that have had the same sort of thing happen with their scoots after a new belt install. After the newness wears off, it stops with the squeaking heard on accelerating away from a stop.
Howver,
Does it squeak when you give it throttle, but before you even start to move away? If so, the new belt becomes suspect.
Does it squeak all the time or just when starting to move away?
If it squeaks all or most of the time and does so whether accelerating or decelerating then you should take a closer look at the bearings. If it is bearing noise, well then there you go... new bearings should fix it.

If you can confirm that it is not bearings, then put some miles on it... the noise should eventually go away.

I think I found the source of the problem. The clutch is still rubbing the crankcase. This causes the squeaking at high speeds - 45 to 70 MPH. At slower speeds, it is not obvious. The metal dows that I bought, were from a auto parts store, but they must still be to short. Evidently the dows are shorter than Roketa's and short I will add spacers to it, so it is long enough to maintain clearance of the crankcase. Thank You

Odd, but I would think that the cover does not fit flush with the case now as it should. This is apparently a different type/brand of clutch and is larger than what was on it earlier? The locator dowels are there to make sure the cover is properly aligned on the drive-line case. They are not meant as stand-offs. Now, with a small gap, water, dust, grit, mud etc. will be able to get in there and cause premature wear on parts (belt, pulley faces, clutch shoes, pulley boss at the variator and shaft that the moveable face rides on at the clutch.)

Still, something is not right. I would think that the part rubbing at speed is the moveable face at the clutch. Because as the belt goes up the pulley face at the variator, it goes down into the pulley at the clutch. And the moveable face at the clutch moves outward toward the cover and is rubbing on something (even more) as it moves outward. The clutch bell does NOT move in or out.

Never heard of aftermarket clutches intended as direct replacements to have fitment issues. Are you absolutely sure when you reassembled that everything went back together as it should? I'm suspecting not. Like maybe the fixed, driven face is not seated all the way back onto the axle. If it were me, I would disassemble it and make absolutely certain that ALL of the correct part were there and assembled in the proper order and fitted all the way on and everything torqued down to spec.

Did you eliminate the gasket when you replaced the cvt cover? It is still possible that the clutch bell is not sitting correctly on the splines or that you have one of the washers that should be between the nut and the clutch bell underneath the clutch bell pushing it further out. A thin washer is about 1 mm while the thick can be 2 or 3 mm.
