Rusty sprocket

[duncan]

Just found a lot of rust on my front sprocket :shocked: when I fit the new one should I lube the splines or not

tried to upload photo but the site would not let me:gaah:

Yes, you will need spline lube. Its is not regular grease.

I just had mine replaced at 12000 miles. It was covered under warranty.

Search this site. There are several threads on this subject.

Any thoughts about installing Lamonster's tensioner idler roller upgrade? Seems like a big improvement over the stock roller. But is the original roller trouble prone?
If the roller upgrade is a good thing to do, is the original arm dependable, or is a new assembly in order?

Do you already have the OEM idler pulley kit? There are a few people that make an upgrade of sorts - you might want to look at some of the threads about the subject before deciding on which to go with. I have the OEM kit on my 2016 and it is working fine still after 7k miles.
