Should I balance the tire with the rear hub attached to the rim or if it should first be removed? Like do I have to remove the hub and the pulley both at the same time? I'm not sure how to work with the RS Warrior but for my other bikes, I never had this trouble of thought.
 
For most belt-driven bikes, it's best to balance the rear tire with both the hub and pulley attached.
That gives you more accurate balance which means smoother rides 🏍️
 
Yes, and no need to remove the hub or pulley separately, just balance the full wheel assembly as it sits on your bike

Balance it with the hub and pulley removed, it should just be the bare wheel and tire on the balancer, extra hardware will affect the reading
