I am hearing a high pitch sound ( squeal ) not sure if it is coming from the transmission but it started after the reverse gear was installed. Anybody with the reverse gear having any thing like this ?

Never had squealing problems with the 5 speed Champion reverse, just burnt hands when shifting it.
A small misalignment in the rear belt could cause the squeal at low speed.

Thanks for the response ,I have adjusted the belt twice with no improvement eather time.
I have around 4000 miles with the noise, it is louder when taking off but is still there all the time the bike is moving.
Annoying but doesn't seem to interfere with performance.
