After reading the posts on a 33 tooth front pulley, I thought I knew what to order. The local Yamaha dealer said they will install the new pulley at no charge if I supply it while they are doing the coil recall. Great, so I asked the service dept. to switch me to the parts dept. Now the confusion begins, no one at the dealership seemed to know what to order. So according to what I have read I asked them to price out a Raod Star 33 tooth pulley. They agve me a price of $116.00 and then asked which one I was talkin about. According to them, Yamaha has changed the Road Star pulley and belt to the same size as the Warrior. Can anyone clarify this for me.

I used to care more!!

You are correct, in 2003 or 2004 Yamaha made the pulley the same width as the roadstar pulley, but it is still a 33 tooth for the stock pulley.

I am looking for the 33 tooth pulley. This will give me lower rpms at cruising speed. I have reached for 5th gear many times to find I am already in 5th. I know many want the 31 tooth which is great for jumping off to a fast start.

gman....the PN for the front Road* 33T pulley is 1999~2003 - PULLEY, BELT: 4WM-17651-00-00

You will need to machine the pulley to fit on the Warrior as it is made for 1 1/2" wide belt used on the earlier Road*. The machining is req'd to clear the middleshaft case of the Warrior (1/8"). There is lots of press on this subject where other members use the stock width belt. Here is some reading mat'l on the subject in different flavors [

Now the '04' & > Road* does use the narrower 1 1/8" belt and i believe it has 33T? but there has never been anything posted on the forum regarding this pulley being used on the Warrior that i am aware of, but i've been wrong before.

You should be able to pickup the earlier 33T pulley new from the dealer for $70.00 and then pay a shop $35.00~$50.00 to machine it with a carbide cutter on a lathe Cake

and you'll still be ahead of the game.

I was very lucky and won mine back in Oct '06' on Ebay for $36.75 landed and in like new condition [

I agree AlanH should be member of the month. I just received the rear pulley from him and he sent me an e-mail with his link to pics and instructions
