#100727 laortego (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 53 Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   I am thinking about going to a barons 31 tooth or yamahas 30 tooth pulley. What does everyone suggest? Does anyone have either of these? If so, do I have to switch out the belt to more or less teeth? Thanks for the help as always...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #100729 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   I've only heard about going down to 31 tooth pulley, and you don't have to switch out the belt. You may need to stretch it out a bit more at the rear tire, but not too much.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #100788 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

I cruise nicely at 80-85mph with the 31. Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #100799 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   I'll prob'ly keep mine at 32. To me, it's the best of both worlds - not super quick off the line (prob'ly kill myself) and nice cruising, even though I haven't taken any long trips yet. A 33 should give you great cruising, Soba.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #100814 Scrubber (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   I have an '06 Roadie, just installed a 30 tooth and had to install a 128 tooth belt with it. The whole process took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. "You have to remove the rear fork to change the belt". As for the mpg, I did a 3 hour trip and averaged 46 with my girl on back. The roadie still has plenty of top end left. In fact I beleive it helps it push through the wind better. Power wise, it'll leave a mark when you hit second and bark the tire in third   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #100865 laortego (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 53 Re:Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Thanks for all the good info everyone. I have an 03 and I believe it comes stock with a 33 tooth. I just got 44 mpg averaging about 85 mph on the way home from up north michigan this past wk end. Good to hear I can still get that some mileage with the 30 tooth wills.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #100892 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Need some advice on pulleys 3 Years, 10 Months ago   laortego wrote: Good to hear I can still get that some mileage with the 30 tooth wills. If you ride the same way, your mileage will go down. At a given speed your revs will now be higher so .... more gas.

When you first get the 30 tooth and the 128 tooth belt installed you WILL get lower mpg until you quit grinnin from ear to ear and you guit given her WOT!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
