    Is your belt tension correct?

      I think it is both clutches seem to be working but the belt is over 10 years old

        Post some pics of your setup so we can see what you have. If your belt is worn such that it is too narrow, you will lose performance. Also, if your belt is too loose you will lose performance in that you will not get the maximum ratios created by the full travel of your clutches.

          Is it possible that now that the machine is tight its just easier to drive and quieter ? Unless you changed gearing through sprockets or jackshafts it should do the same.

                I'm curious if you've over adjusted the brakes on reassembly and they are dragging?
