has it always done this or is this something new?

This is causing quite alot of resistance in the drive train, and I believe this is cutting into my run times and over heating the motor due to resitance.

I have loosened off all the tensioners and it seems to have helped it a little bit but its still tightening up again.
I have re fit the belt several times and still have no clue as to why it would tighten up in one spot and then be fine the rest of the time

I am using an eagle racing 1.8 counter-steer kit with the stock vdf belt.

Any advice is appreciated.
