Super Max

[Mr. Wright]

Well it's time. Even though, I have the updated version of the Mad Clown rear pulley, w/teflon coating, I guess it's all wore off. Time to fix the squeaky belt.
Called Super Max today, and talked to Viv. I've heard a lot of good things about Super Max pulley over lays, so I'm going to send mine off.

Just curious—what kind of mileage did you get out of the Mad Clown pulley? And what would one expect the costs to be to re-coat it? I’m recalling the last one I wore out the teeth on the pulley were seriously worn and looked like the photo in the link. I noticed that SuperMax replaces the teeth and it apparently lasts forever…..looks good!

I looked @ SM a few yrs back. If I remember right it was around $550. Now ??

I ran this pulley on my 03 for quite a few miles before I got the 04. I've put close 20,000 miles on the 04. Teeth don't look to bad, but the teflon coating wore off, and it'd been squealing for a couple years now.
It's around $500 for SM to do the lay over. That includes them shipping it back. As a business, I got a discount. What amazed me was they said it would be about a 3 day turn around.
A new pulley is $400

Just recently took the rear wheel off my Bulldog for a new tire and noticed that the teeth were showing some shine on the tips. I was talking to 41 about this and he mentioned Supermax. If the process is only 3 days or a few more plus shipping times now is the time to get her done.

Thanks

If you talk to Viv, tell her I said hi.

Curious, why you didn’t just buy a new one if available?

Well the main reason is that for years, I've told people about them. I have not seen their product first hand. Now I'll be able to give an honest opinion.

From what I’ve heard the reworked ones are better than the new ones. The answer to everything nowadays is just throw it away and get a new one. I think it’s sad.

 

[HMAN]

After looking @ their webpage, they dont seem to know how long the overlays will last? They havent had one wear out? Thats a plus.

Take a look at the site as I did yesterday and you will see the process and results. I think it's the way to go even if you don't put mega miles on.

I had a Super Max come apart and left me stranded. They said they'd fix it at minimal cost, but I never sent it back. Bought a new one instead.

Photo now attached, it pulled out of the rivets.

How long ago did this happen? How many miles on it?

Happened in 2019 and had it on the bike for about a year. Maybe 5000 miles.

I'm wondering how much torque it takes to bend those set screws.

Last time it was dynoed, is was 131 lbs, but I had work done since and don't know. The bike is fast - 04 117

 

[Mr. Wright]

I think that's why they asked me what bike and motor, and if I had any work done to it.

 

[tcrowelljr]

It might be, I did send them the photo, but bought the new mad clown pulley and have had no issues. I still have that one around somewhere.

I called the other day and spoke with Vyvyan and was asked the same questions. I reckon everything has limitations. I'm going to ship mine out today as the coating is starting to ware and showing the parent metal. I guess my stock 05 Bulldog will last much longer than your Beast!

I had to take another look there when you said set screws. I just assumed they used rivets.

It does make sense on the set screws when you give it some thought. Otherwise the rivet would have come through the outer layer of the teflon.

Post some pictures when you all get these, good to see SuperMax is still around and turning these around.
