17,000 Miles and the front pulley is history!

[bboley]

Hello All,

Spyderjerry and I just got done putting a Kumho Solus TA11 on the rear of my F3s. For the life of us we could not get the belt to keep tracking properly. After trying probably a dozen times with no luck we decided to see if something was going on with the front pulley. Well sure enough it wasn't just the stock Kendas that had given up the ghost. Yep this is what was left of the inside splines of the pulley. I am really glad that we caught this when we did as my wife and I are ryding our Spyders down to the Lake of the Ozarks for a week of smyle and this pulley would have made a mess of it.

Great big shout out to Spyderjerry for all of his help getting me back on the road safely!

Please everyone with an F3, check your pulley for rust from time to time. Don't do like I did and assume all is well.
