Proper procedure is to loosen, then retorque. If you just check the torque without loosening, friction could cause you to have a false reading...and too low an actual torque value.

I will try to remember to take the camera with me when I go to pick my Spyder back up so I can get some pictures of my damaged parts as well.

Better check the sprocket and shaft for both wear and play. Also make sure you are running the newest, reduced belt tension spec. The bolts shouldn't break that readily if they are properly torqued. Have you checked your torque wrench calibration lately?

Scotty: I'll have my dealer check all of that when I take it in next week. Thanks for the head's up!

Wow that was the same issue I had a few weeks ago, the dealer called me and they have to replace the "pulley"

As I look at that worn out sprocket it doesn't appear that the teeth are very deep compared to the new one. I would think if the sprocket teeth are worn then it would be a good thing to replace the shaft as well as those teeth would also be worn?

Hard to say...
Not seeing the parts...the ones shown here were from an obsolete sproket later replaced with a double sided on and some with a counterweight. I recently replaced my sproket cause the bolt came loose but the shaft is a harder metal and suffers less damage. New sproket , bolt and washer and back on the road. There are other ways if the shaft is damaged but not at a dealer....
20150630_104820.jpg 20150630_121204.jpg 20150630_121226.jpg I would start with a new sproket and bolts about $70 cheapcycleparts.com

Not so cheap there. $109.95 just for sprocket. Of course lot cheaper than $2600.00

Somebody know the way to unscrew the bolt

I just had the bolt replaced about 1000 miles ago. I have 25,000 on a 2010 RS. They said the next time that it comes loose I need to replace the sprocket. I kind of wish they would have replaced the sprocket while they had it down but, I guess it didn't need it at that time.

Most of the people on the first page (excluding Lamont), have not been on SL for a few years.
I just enjoyed seeing the names of some old members that use to be on this site, and always had great information to share, but some left because of some negative comments made to them here. What a shame, and it still continues. (At least they left the information to be accessed for the newer members)

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice ... in practice, however, that's just a theory.
