Ok the shaft drive is smoother as long as the shaft and bearings are maintained properly the belt drive will be close to the same smoothness but will have a slight vibration due to the design of the pulley teeth or cog and the belt tooth contact area. and the belt needs adjustments more often. hope that helps
Why would a belt for the alternator keep breaking and always squeaks?
Check the alignment of belt in relationship to all pulleys. Check the condition of the pulleys. Also make sure the belt being replace is the recommended size. Auto shops have belt measuring tools to check the size of the belt before installing into your vehicle. You may have had a belt installed that was too large in the first place. The squeaks are a sign of a loose belt or a belt not recommended for your vehicle.

Can tires squeak?
Yes, a "slipped belt" can cause a tire to squeak. A slipped belt is when the belt area of the tire separates from the radial plies of the tire and there is a noise as the two parts rub across each other. If a tire squeaks because of a slipped belt, do not drive at high speed and replace the tire as quickly as possible. A slipped belt will eventually separate causing the tire to blow out.
What is a motorcycle belt drive?
"Belt drive" refers to the type of final drive from the gearbox to the rear wheel. Traditionally, bikes have a chain & sprockets. More recently, some manufacturers have replaced the chain with a belt on some models. The belt works in exactly the same way as the chain, and some say that belts are harder wearing than chains. (They are certainly less likely to develope tight-spots).
What are the uses of a belt drive?
A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.
