Have you ever seen tensioner pulleys bleed grease like this?

No I haven't. I looked at mine at 98,000 miles and they where fine. Some time ago I bought some off of Ebay just in case. I also picked up some pulse generators and coils just to have on hand. Has anyone on the main board heard of this? I guess I'll take another look at mine. I'm at 136,000 miles now.

I posted it in a thread on the main board and no one has said that they have seen it yet...  My bike has only 75,000 Miles.. The only reason I went in there to change them is because Kendall had a belt fail and lost his engine. I wanted peace of mind...

This is what I saw when I took the cover off.  I thought the belt was binding and leaving a residue behind....

Ya, that doesn't look good. I assume you replaced you belts as well.

Well I opened mine up and took a look today. All is good but the belts were a bit loose so I tightened them up a bit. She's ready to go to InZane in just two weeks.
