Front Sprocket BRP Bulletin

[SpyderWolf]

But the question is .... what did your tech consider 'in spec'.

Did they tell you the exact number?

Details....details... :roflblack:

The bolts were torqued at 81 lbf/ft

My belt is currently at 545 N without any adjustment, and they adjusted hers down to 450N. They tested 3 separate times, with 3 attempts per test, and then averaged those together to get the final results.
Hers was originally at 715N, which reminded me that in Daytona Kurt also said hers was low but not as low as mine. It all makes sense now.

Musta missed something.

Thanks all for this thread and the effort put into getting the right info. :2thumbs: I must have missed this while I was travelling. I'll check the sprocket tension and lower the belt tension (still at about 900N), on the weekend.

Cheers;

Pogo.

whats the chance of getting some of these bulletins edited and put into the how to section. That way those of us that do our own maintenance have a some sort of check list to go by. just an idea thank you.

front sprocket torque

Dec 7, 2009
Models: 2010 RS/RT, 2009 GS, 2008 GS
Model number: All
Spyder recommended maintanance
No. 2010-1

Front sprocket screw retightening (all models) at 10,000 km (6,000 miles) one time.

On certain vehicles, it is possible that the front sprocket assembly settles reducing the clamping force of the screw on the front sprocket. To maximize durability of the splines, the screw must be retightened.
Warning: Screw must be torqued to 110 N/m to 120 N/m (81 lbf/ft to 89 lbf/ft).

I have to agree with the torque of the bolt for the front sprocket. BUT, there is no way with the bolt being a little loose that it will cause your front sprocket to wear out the splines on the shaft or the pulley.
I put on a 30 tooth sprocket 4000 miles ago and so far no issues. The way the splines wear is too much with the wrist from a dead stop.:gaah:

Please define "too much"...pps:

Doc, start your Spyder and ryde to my house. OK, now you know what too much is. For you, just a short ryde down the street.

If that's the case then most of us are in big trouble....

:agree:

Is too much wrist a full turn on the throttle, or only half of one? It seems to get me nearly the same results no matter which one I do. :dontknow:
