I just did and R&R for preventative maintenance. This was my first time doing that, so I was being methodical (aka slow) yet it took but a half hour. An RT will take longer to R&R panels, but never 4 hours. That's another reason I do my own wrenching.
The pulley costs about $100 and the bolt is under $11. She got had.

Thanks RICZ,
I really thought 4 hours was way to much on an F-3.

Some dealer's charges are usury. My local dealer quoted $381 to swap handlebars on my 2020RT -- that's about $1000 per hour.
The (unverified) part number for the new 'whistle reducing' pulley is #219800509, provided by mrwog.

Is the pulley as much of an issue on the older RS models? I still am bopping around on a '10. It seems it is new models, but that may just because most on here have moved on beyond the RS.

NO .... since 2012 ( my finding this site ) I have read almost all the posts/ threads here and to my recollection there have very, very few reports for the V-twins ( can't remember any ) ..... this issue first arose with the F-3's ...... I have 56,000+ mi. on my RT and so far all OK ..... good luck .... Mike
