Should I replace this pulley?

[VT Chad]

I tore my bike apart to replace the rear pulley and belt and I am wondering if you guys think my front pulley is shot too? Thanks.

Yeah it's pretty beat up...I would replace with new if your budget allows.

That pulley looks like shit.....replace it for sure if u can!!!!!!!!!!:up: It will eat up the new belt if you dont.......

Absolutely replace it, it doesn't cost that much and it will make the new belt last longer.

Definitely worth replacing. Stock pulleys are inexpensive. To upgrade you could go with a Baker long lasting pulley. Another upgrade is a Jim's mega nut.
Good info on this site about changing pulleys, belts, primary seals, etc.
