My wife and I had come off a country driveway, down a hill, up a hill, then when pulling out on the hiway, there was a terrible clunking, as though all three wheel axles had jumped out of line. The driveway was that gray traprock... sharp little 1/4 inch or so pieces of gravel. I thought rock, but we couldn't find anything, so I assumed something else broke. Limped home at 30 mph for 60 miles. When i was able to get under it with good lighting I saw the slightest irregularity (bump) on the belt... right at the backside of the back sprocket. Rolled it forward and found the tiny piece of rock firmly wedged in the sprocket. Got it out, and all now seems fine. I guess the question is this: if I visually inspect the belt for any damage, and check the sprocket for any damage, would you think i should still take it to the dealer to have the tension, etc. rechecked, or other potential damage? All seems fine now and there'll probably be snow on the ground here by the time I would get it back from the shop.
