It was just an attempt!!
I can't promise success at all.
It's the same procedure as the one to adjust the belt drive:
Put the bike up on a stable stand so that the rear wheel can turn freely.
Loosen the rear axle.
Loosen the lock nuts holding the bolts which point backwards from the axle nuts.
Now comes the empirical part ...
Adjust these bolts one at a time in quarter turns, making a note of how much you turned each!
Start the motor (the stand MUST be very stable) and let the wheel turn for a while in 1st gear.
My idea was to get the belt to run exactly in the middle of the pully.
This should mean that there's nowhere to rub/squeak against.
After each attempt that didn't work stop the motor and go back to the original setting so that the wheel still runs straight.
When you're finished, retighten the lock nuts, making sure that the adjusters stay put, and retighten the axle VERY tight!!!
If you don't - danger lurks!!!!!
Very empirical, I know, It might also take several tries over several days, because the squeak seems also to depend on humidity!!!
Hope it works for you.
