rear sprocket temperature
How warm should the rear sprocket get assuming proper belt tension?
Checked my belt tension using the Harley tool and did the 45 degree twist as well and tension is within specs. Had the Harley tech also check the tension as well as alignment, and he thought it was fine. However, after a few hours on the freeway, the rear sprocket is hot enough that placing my hand on it for more than 5-10 seconds is uncomfortable. Is this normal? Am I missimg something here. Both belt and sprocket show no signs of wear or damage. Bike is a 08 RK with 11K and handles great without any discernable problems.
