R&d pulley question

[marvin willis]

I have a ultra 250 with the r&d pulley and just broke a belt with less than four hrs on the belt. Belt tension was perfect. Question is for you people that have done this mod did u use the supplied washer behind the pulley. My theory is that it was t lined up completely. Also do u know if the company on this site will over night the part. Go on vacation next sat

Do dealerships keep these belts in stock ?

[marvin willis]

Gonna try a hell Mary and see if I can find a car belt that will fit at advaced on my way home

Theory was incorrect. Tensioner pulley locked up

surely you checked the bearing when you replaced the belt, bearings dont go bad in 4hrs, also check the alignment if its got another pulley on it

Wheel spun freely but was making a little noise. I ordered a r&d tensioner wheel. I got the original to free up and would randomly stick again. I tried to get the bearing out but it was froze in there and I think the r&d is a better design anyway. I guess I'm glad it happened now instead of on vacation

the bearings press out with the correct tools

Had to cancel my order from r&d. They couldn't get the part to me in time. Ordered factory parts. Will be here Wednesday. I assume the bearing presses in from the back. Correct?
