Pulley torque to 120-130 inch pounds

It's in the belt, pulley and idler matrix.

well that there might be the problem.....a lot of us have referred to the '07 whipple guide. probably because that's the latest revision we have access to on-line.

i know in my manual i had hand written, 17ft-lbs.....not sure where that started but it felt
like a reasonable torque. lately i've been using 10 because i was changing the pulley so
often.

yeah, nothing in my manual about pulley torque. Michael at Whipple emailed me the 17 foot lbs spec.

i was pretty sure i got the torque from you moose, i just didn't want to put you on the spot.

My instruction manual said 12ft/lbs instruction 61.
I am almost certain now they shipped me the wrong bolts.

This is a picture of their set-up


This is my setup




All but 4 (flat head bolts) of my bolts are rusting and four of them broke.
Never buying a Steeda product again. In fact, I am looking for an excuse to get rid of my Steeda products I have right now.

WORST customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. They hardly ever pick up the phone, did NOT answer any e-mails until I sent them nasty ones. To which they responded they are not going to do anything about it and I can buy new parts if I want. Two weeks just to get that out of them. **** I am pissed at them right now.

Damn man, sorry to hear that. I'll steer clear of them from now on.
