no. more tension. tighten it. it's basically not catching right away because it's too loose.Originally posted by DrSzSoLDIeR View PostComment

i took a flat crow bar and too the hook and pried on it a bit to get it tight.Originally posted by Jr13Pay View Post
Then i tightened the lower bolt and then the upper bolt.
Do it when the motor is cold to see if it does it or not.
and to prevent any touching and burning of the hands on the exhaust.
if it's not fixed then tighter.Comment

Too tight will squeal as well. You should have between a half inch and an inch of play in the belt.
It's also possible that your belt is just old as shit and doesn't grip anymore. Might be a good time to replace it!

This is apparently a fairly comon issue. I replaced the timing and ballance belts on my 91 CB9 and at this time I bought and installed new Alt and AC belts.
I think I have tried everything from half inch and 1 full inch of slack to guitar string tight and it still makes a squeal for a split second at initial startup.
My next cure option will be to see if I can find a new Alt pulley.

Yeah just tighten the belt a little, like stated though to tight can squeal as well. I had this problem couple day ago after I replaced my alt belt. There's an adjuster bolt at the bottom, just tighten it and the belt tightens up.
