#110393 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   As I posted earlier, I replaced my 32-tooth front drive pulley with a 33-tooth last night. Finally got the alignment right. During the process, I also cleaned and lubed the belt rollers and guide pins. Took her for a test ride tonight, and now I have some chirping I didn't have before, especially on hard decel (when I let go of the throttle). What have you folks used and how have you lubed your rollers?   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110404 raddad (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 29 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Hi....Just wondering where are the pins and rollers located? ...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #110408 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2703 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Soba you checked the belt tension when you aligned the tire right as well as tightened the adjuster locknuts and axle bolt nut???Dont ask me which one I forgot the other day just glad I caught it before it acted up.I didnt lube my rollers just cleaned them as I figured oil would attract dust etc.and gum them up. Radad the rollers are under the front drive pulley cover next to the pulley.....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #110416 oldroadstar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 51 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I have an '05 and went to a 33 tooth pulley a couple months ago. I felt like the fit was too tight with the larger pulley and rollers so I left them off. You did check your belt tension with the bike on the ground and not on a jack, right?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #110453 Questcap (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 387 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The nylon rollers are in front of the pulley at like 10 and 8, and they don't make regular contact with the belt or pulley. It would seem that they are there just to prevent override of a tooth on the pulley as you accel or decel, or maybe poorly mismatch and up or downshift. Since they are made of nylon, it's probably best not to lube them, as nylon is slick all by itself, and being a petroleum based plastic, may not like the presence of other petroleum products with it. One more post, and I'll be 100 and awaiting my cold delivery!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/20 08:50 By Questcap.   Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110768 raddad (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 29 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Hi...One of the previous owners must have removed them because they are not there? Is this a bad thing? Are they behind the pulley so that can not be seen without removing the pulley?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #110774 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2925 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   raddad you have to remove the pully cover to access them. Yes they can be cleaned,I just put a little oil on them and wipe it off with a rag.

And the rollers are not there.. There is nothing around the pulley that even remotely resembles a roller and or pins that the rollers would roll on?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #110804 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2925 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   If there are no rollers or the pins they rotate on above or below the front of the pully then a PO must have removed them. They are there to guide the belt if it should jump the pully.which I haven't heard of. Maybe some one else has and will chime in.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110839 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2703 Re:Belt Roller Lubrication? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Greysnake wrote: cougar now you see what retirement can do too you ummmmmmmmm Yep so far I am loving every minute of it ...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
