There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

When's the whistle test? Did the spline fit feel the same?

The fit was good, but I don"t know if it"s better than a new old stock pulley. The weather was not the best for a ride. The spyder needs to get a bath frist as it has 3 months of dust and dirt covering it

I used moly paste. Honda 77 assembly lube. 60% moly.

I got to pee too after too many beers. :cheers:
I was just fixing to ask that.
No. It's not a warranty issue. There's nothing wrong with the current sprocket. The new one is just an updated/improved version.

Mine was covered under the Best warranty.
Glad to hear you got one over on BuRP. They've gotten one over on most of us at one time or another.
My hope is that its better made. '17 RTL is going in for its 3rd front sprocket - glad the red dust flags there is an issue and not just strip on the spline in the middle of nowhere.

I had to request the new sprocket, so make sure you do as the previous one is still out there. I don't know if the new sprocket is any better, but we know the previous one is not!

Good choice. Actually, MolyKote 77 is what that is and a few others are the same product just rebranded. Any good high quality moly paste with high moly content is good. Note your mileage when installed. Remove and inspect at the mid point to your 28K major maintenance. Accomplish a second pulley inspection and relube at 28k and reevaluate the pulley inspection and lube intervals.

After seeing the photos, my guess is they applied surface treatment to the wear surfaces. This may quiet the belt noise and will help but not prevent spline wear. The reason for the paint may either be to identify this from earlier versions or possibly the surface treatment had to be applied to bare steel and offers no corrosion protection. Therefore they used a white paint this time.
There are varyations of a saying:
“It is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word.”
-- Andrew Jackson
"I have nothing but contempt for anyone who can spell a word only one way."
-- Thomas Jefferson
“Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination.”
-- Mark Twain
I think you get the gist.
I am constantly amazed (amused?) by the mis-spelled words and other incorrect phrases I see on various forums. On another forum that I frequent, I have met many of the members. Most are well-educated and well-spoken, but the words they put on my screen certainly do not convey that image. Yes, there are "fat-fingered" mistakes where a wrong letter is pressed (or omitted), but when you see entire words or phrases that are incorrect, it only leads to wonder. Fortunately, since I have met them, I can see the twinkle in their eye and hear the drawl in their voice as I read their words, I actually know and understand what they are writing. I learned to spell correctly well before third grade, when the spelling bees started, and I try my best, but mistakes do happen. I have also learned to not criticize others for their mis-spellings, unless it creates so much confusion that it the question can not be answered. From my viewpoint, PW2013STL might be the best of life-long friends and you are only ribbing him, but there is no way for me to tell. Emojis can help a bit, but with a limited selection, ... :dontknow:
