AndyS Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi r77toy I am afraid I can't get on the site to view it. Could you tell us more about it? Andy Link to comment
r77toy Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Here's a quoted response : "The original pulleys were spot welded crank and would separate, The alt pulley was alloy.. and sometimes would loosen up.. Yes I know I have seen both of the factory bad ones with over a 100k to... But there were "some failures" ps it was supposed to be for a better belt to.. http://www.nmpcs.com/r11r/v-belt.pdf" Link to comment
dirtrider Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Morning r77toy Your 97 1100 should already have the Poly V belt & better pulley's. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Afternoon Jeff Your 1996 should have the later belt & pulley. Supposedly any 1100 built after 09/1994 had the better belt & pulley. Link to comment
OldBMWMaster Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Afternoon Jeff Your 1996 should have the later belt & pulley. Supposedly any 1100 built after 09/1994 had the better belt & pulley. Mine was manufactured 10/95...it broke last week. Total separation of the pulley and the metal interior wheel that sends the signal to the HES Link to comment

Total separation of the pulley and the metal interior wheel that sends the signal to the HES Afternoon OldBMWMaster I don't understand the total separation (what happened?). The pulley clamps the rotor in place when torqued down. If the rotor falls off the pulley upon pulley removal the service manual has a caution to glue it back on the pulley before re-assembly.

Trullion Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 My RS was manufactured in 11/95 and has the later type belt and pulley. The Haynes manual explains how to tell the difference. Link to comment
OldBMWMaster Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't know how it happened. All I know is there was total separation. I bought some metal/metal glue and put it all back together. I am headed out in a few minutes for a 3 day trip. I have also ordered the upgraded pulley. Link to comment
OldBMWMaster Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Got back last night; over 700 miles. No problems with the pulley. I guess you really can glue together metal pulleys. Link to comment
